I had rectal bleeding for a few months before my surgery that was initially thought to be from amoeba. Now I'm stage 1 pN0 pMx and worried could the bleeding have detached tumor cells that entered my bloodstream and spread elsewhere even though I'm early stage?

surgery opinion is advised.

I was recently diagnosed with fibroadenoma and have four lumps one was removed (5.3 cm) but the others are smaller. Can they be treated with medication or will I need surgery for those too? I've attached my biopsy report for reference.

Small fibroadenomas are often monitored; surgery is only needed if they grow, cause symptoms, or raise diagnostic concerns.
