My whole family has been dealing with a viral cold and flu. Now my mom's got it too, and she's dealing with a blocked nose and body aches. Her PET scan is scheduled for tomorrow to check if the lung tumor and nodules are active. Is it a good idea to take her for the scan while she's feeling like this, or should we think about rescheduling?

View allI've had this lump in my armpit since last October. It's medium-sized, hard, and painless. It's not red, and it doesn't seem like it's movable. I'm a bit worried about what it could be. Should I be concerned? What might be causing it?
It sounds like you have a medium-sized, hard, and painless lump in your armpit that has been present for quite some time. While it's reassuring that it isn't red or painful, it's important to get it checked by a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying conditions and ensure proper care.

I'm really worried about my fibroadenoma in my left breast. It's been there for around three years now, and I've been taking Ayurvedic medicine for the last 7 months, but the size seems to be about 32.75cm. Is this normal? Should I be doing something else for treatment or getting it checked out further? It's really stressing me out, and I'd appreciate any advice on what to do next.

If a cancer has spread to the lungs, liver, and colon, is it still treatable? For someone with CHF, would chemo or other treatments be an option? What's the survival rate in cases like this? If it's advanced, can chemo or surgery actually help, or is it too risky given the CHF? I need a straightforward answer about what to expect in this situation.
When cancer has spread to the lungs, liver, and colon (a metastatic situation), it is still treatable, but the outlook is generally less favorable than if the cancer were localized. Chemotherapy and other treatments may still be options, even for someone with CHF, but the decision-making process must be individualized based on the specific cancer type, stage, and the patient's overall health, including the severity of their CHF. Survival rates vary depending on the cancer type, treatment response, and individual factors, with some patients living several years despite metastasis.
