I have neuroendocrine tumor rectal colon cancer and have already gone through 25 rounds of chemo radiation with capacitabine tablets plus photon radiation, along with 4 cycles of carboplatin and etoposide chemo. Will I need surgery for this? Is this type of cancer fully curable can I expect to recover completely and be disease-free?

I'm trying to figure out if there's any connection between Primosa 1000 which my oncologist prescribed for a fibrous lump in my breast, and the severe hairfall I've been experiencing. I've been taking it for about three months now, and the hairfall started around two months ago. Is this normal, or should I be worried?

The main use is to reduce pain and tenderness due to the diseasei.e lump, hence tab primosa is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's had these enlarged supraclavicular lymph nodes for two years now. There are no signs of TB like fever, weight loss, or fatigue, and she's been managing her diabetes pretty well. There was nothing in the lymph nodes when tested for CBNAAT. The ultrasound showed they're quite large, and the biopsy results indicated granulomatous lymphadenitis. The document says TB needs to be ruled out, and the AFB stain came back negative. They also mentioned something about doing a TBPCR test to make sure it's not tuberculosis. The microscopic findings talked about some kind of granulomas but no caseous necrosis was found. TB PCR didn't show any sign of MTB or non-TB mycobacteria. I'm quite confused and worried about what all this means. Is this something serious? What should we do next?

That could be non specific TB infection,might need complete course of ATT, visit physician for appropriate management
