I'm really worried about my wife. She's 23 and has been dealing with fibroadenoma for about 4 years now. There's one in her right breast that's around 3 cm, and it's causing her a lot of fear. We're really hoping to find a way to treat it without surgery. Any advice?

I have pancreatic cancer and I'm really confused about the best treatment option for me. Some doctors recommend stenting, others suggest chemotherapy alone, and a few have mentioned Whipple surgery. I'm in Mumbai right now and would appreciate your advice on what would be the most suitable approach for my condition. I'm happy to pay the consultation fees once I hear back from you.

The best treatment for pancreatic cancer depends on several factors, including the stage of the cancer, its location, and your overall health. While surgery is the only potentially curative treatment for pancreatic cancer, it's only an option for a small percentage of patients. If surgery isn't possible, chemotherapy, radiation, and/or palliative care may be used to manage the cancer and improve quality of life
