I found a few hypoechoic lesions in both my breasts one 15mm in the upper outer right, two more in the subareolar region, and a couple in the left breast's lower quadrants. There are also some small simple cysts in the upper quadrants. The report says the rest looks normal, but I'm worried do I need surgery or can medicines help What are the risks if I go for surgery

Hypoechoic lesions in the breast may or may not require surgery. If they’re benign, monitoring them with regular follow-ups is often sufficient. Surgery is typically considered if there’s any suspicion of malignancy or significant changes.

View allMy mom was diagnosed with colon cancer during rectal surgery without a biopsy first. Is it okay to diagnose cancer without doing a biopsy? I'm really worried about whether this was the right way to do it.

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?
Observe the Lumps: If they continue to grow, cause pain, or do not go away, you should consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis. Medical Evaluation: A healthcare professional may want to examine the lumps physically, and potentially order an ultrasound or biopsy to rule out other conditions, particularly if you're concerned about the lumps appearing in both armpits. Watch for Changes: If the lumps become painful, larger, or change in appearance (color, warmth, etc.), it's important to seek medical attention quickly.

I'm really worried about my mom. She was diagnosed with breast cancer back in October 2013 and had her right breast removed, then went through chemo and radiation until July 2014. Recently, she's been fine except for some coughing with phlegm in the mornings. We just did a full-body PET CT scan, and it shows these small nodules in her lungs. She had an early stage of TB in 2015 and had her gall bladder removed in 2016 because of stomach pain. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and would love some guidance on what steps we should take next. Can you help point us in the right direction?
Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
