Question 1

My father has tongue cancer that has now spread to his throat. We're really confused about what treatment to go for some relatives suggested homeopathy, so we started that today. But the ENT specialist recommended surgery after seeing the biopsy and MRI reports. My father is scared of the operation and doesn't want to go through with it. I don't know what to do should we stick with homeopathy or follow the doctor's advice for surgery? What's the best way to treat this?

Question 3

I'm really worried and just looking for some clarity here. My mom, who's 67 and used to smoke but quit for years, had a bad case of COVID-19 with pneumonia early in 2021. After recovering, her CT scans showed a ground glass opacity, and later a Koch's lesion, but they said it was just post-COVID fibrosis and didn't need treatment. She's had a very mild dry cough that lasted for about a year and a half.

Recently, in June 2022, we found out through an X-ray and CT scan that she has a 3cm lung mass in the apical segment of her right upper lobe. The scan also showed surrounding interlobular septal thickening, ground glass opacity, and bronchiectatic changes. The biopsy said it's small cell carcinoma, and it showed up as active on the PET scan.

I'm really trying to understand if this cancer could have developed because of the post-COVID fibrosis since the mass is around the ground glass opacity, or if they're just unrelated. We're already starting treatment, but I'd really appreciate some insight on whether there's a connection or not.

Accepted Answer

covid is not related to cancer

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?
