View allI'm really worried about my mom. She's had these enlarged supraclavicular lymph nodes for two years now. There are no signs of TB like fever, weight loss, or fatigue, and she's been managing her diabetes pretty well. There was nothing in the lymph nodes when tested for CBNAAT. The ultrasound showed they're quite large, and the biopsy results indicated granulomatous lymphadenitis. The document says TB needs to be ruled out, and the AFB stain came back negative. They also mentioned something about doing a TBPCR test to make sure it's not tuberculosis. The microscopic findings talked about some kind of granulomas but no caseous necrosis was found. TB PCR didn't show any sign of MTB or non-TB mycobacteria. I'm quite confused and worried about what all this means. Is this something serious? What should we do next?
That could be non specific TB infection,might need complete course of ATT, visit physician for appropriate management

I noticed a hard lump on my right breast that doesn't hurt but seems to be getting bigger. Is there any way to treat this without surgery? What could be causing it?
A hard lump in the breast that isn't painful and seems to be growing warrants a medical evaluation. While some breast lumps, like fibroadenomas or cysts, can be treated without surgery, others, including those related to breast cancer, may require more invasive procedures. Consulting a doctor or healthcare provider is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations

Sure. But majority are still investigational still. Newer drugs are also available. The cost is prohibitively very high. You must see a medical oncologist and discuss the options and costs.
