Question

I'm trying to understand more about Zofer. Could you help me figure out what the exact price is for a 200mg dose? I'm a bit unsure and just want to make sure I'm getting it right.

I'm really concerned about a tumor in my breast that's about 1.5 inches from the top. It feels round, but the inside seems flat. It's been painful twice a week, and I feel the same pain on my back where the tumor is located. I've been seeing a homeopathic doctor who said it would improve in six months, but it seems to be getting worse and I haven't done any medical tests yet. What should I do?

Question

I'm a 21-year-old female and I've been dealing with right axillary lymphadenopathy along with central, lateral, and pectoral lymphadenopathy for about 3 years now. I was diagnosed with a 49mm fibroadenoma in the upper quadrant of my right breast through USG and FNAC around the same time. I'm really worried because these lymph nodes have been persistent and haven't shrunk, despite stopping the removal of axillary hair for months. There's no infection in my arms or chest, no nipple discharge, but sometimes I do feel a prickly sensation in my breast. Should I be concerned about the lymph nodes not reducing in size? What could be causing this?
