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?

My grandmother was just diagnosed with breast cancer and I'm really worried. Can you explain the treatment options for someone her age? If she needs surgery, how urgent is it and what's the typical timeline for that?

It's completely understandable that you're worried after your grandmother's diagnosis. Treatment for breast cancer in older women is individualized and depends on several factors, including the stage and type of cancer, her overall health, and her preferences. Common treatment options include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and targeted therapies.

My CT scan shows a large 6cm mass in the posterior fundus of the stomach, possibly a GIST. The biopsy came back as fibrocollegnous tissue with no malignancy. What's the next step should we try to shrink it with meds or go straight for surgery? Any specific treatments you'd recommend?

If GIST is suspected, surgical removal is ideal; medication like imatinib is used for certain confirmed GISTs.
