My CT scan shows a large 6cm mass in the posterior fundus of the stomach, possibly a GIST. The biopsy came back as fibrocollegnous tissue with no malignancy. What's the next step should we try to shrink it with meds or go straight for surgery? Any specific treatments you'd recommend?

If GIST is suspected, surgical removal is ideal; medication like imatinib is used for certain confirmed GISTs.

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.

Lung cancer can happen in either lung or in both lungs.

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.
