I'm really worried because my wife has been diagnosed with fibroadenoma in her right breast, and it's positioned just above her ovary. Our doctor thinks surgery is the best option, but I'm not entirely sure and feel like I need a second opinion on whether this is necessary. What do you think? Could there be any other treatment options we should consider?

I had two tetanus shots about a year and a half ago while I was pregnant. Now, I'm pregnant again and got a small scratch on my finger from a somewhat rusty scissor. Barely any blood came out, but I'm worried. Do I need another tetanus shot, or are the previous ones still enough to protect me?

no problem you have to take

My doctor found a 7 cm ovarian cyst and suggested surgery, also asked for a CA25 test. Is surgery really necessary for a cyst this size, and what does the CA25 test indicate? Should I be worried about cancer?
