My mother is 42 and has a uterine tumor that doctors say is cancerous. They want to wait 6 weeks to dry the wound before considering surgery. Is this the right approach or should surgery be done sooner?

I've been diagnosed with calcification in my breasts and was told I might need surgery. I'm really nervous about it and wondering if there are other treatment options I could explore before going under the knife. Is surgery the only way, or are there alternatives I should consider?

Question

I'm really worried and need some guidance. I've been dealing with pain and a burning sensation in my right nipple for about 45 days and mild pain in my right armpit for a few days. I've taken a lot of medicine, but nothing seems to help. I had a mammogram and an ultrasound done; the mammogram was all clear, but the ultrasound showed a well-defined oval hypoechoic lesion measuring 63 mm in the 34 clock position of my right breast. It also noted some bilateral axillary lymph nodes with preserved fatty hila that they said were insignificant. I also had my right ovary removed because of a dermoid cyst, and my left ovary is normal in size but shows multiple peripherally arranged follicles, and they said it appears polycystic. I'm really anxiouscould this possibly be cancer?
