Question

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?

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've noticed something concerning lately there's a lump under my arm, and it's been there for a couple of months now. It seems to come and go, and sometimes it gets bigger before shrinking again after a few days. It's pretty soft to touch, but now I'm starting to feel something similar in the other armpit too. Should I be worried about this? What could it possibly be?

Question

I'm really curious to know which lung tends to get affected by lung cancer more frequently, the right one or the left one? I'm just wondering in terms of overall cases. Would really appreciate your insight on this.
