I've been trying to make sense of something after a recent CT scan. It showed a large lymph node mass that's partially encasing some major blood vessels around my kidneys and pancreas. About two years ago, my doctor said it was linked to tuberculosis, so I took medicine for over a year, but the lymph node only got a little bigger. Do you have any idea why that's happening? Also, I've gained about 10kg in just two months and I'm kind of concerned. Is treatment for this really necessary, or should I just leave it as is? Any thoughts on why the weight gain could be happening?

Question

I'm really worried because my mom's been having bad low back pain for the past 10 days, and when the doctor did a CT scan, they mentioned her lungs are infected. They even said it could be lung cancer. Can you help me understand if it's really lung cancer or not? It's all so overwhelming, and I'm not sure what to think or do.

Question

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with these lymph nodes in her supraclavicular area for two years now. They looked small at first, but an ultrasound showed two of them measuring 107 mm and 176 mm. She's also been diabetic for over two years, but her sugar is well-controlled with medication. There's no fever, sweating, or tirednessshe actually feels fine otherwise. What could this mean? What are the chances its something serious? I'm really looking for some guidance on what might be going on.

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?
