I noticed some lumps in my chest and I'm a bit worried. Can homeopathy help with this or would I need to consider surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Some lumps like fat necrosis and sclerosing adenosis are usually surgically removed. Because nodular fasciitis is difficult to differentiate from cancer, these lumps should also be removed. Most fibroadenomas don't require treatment. Cancerous lumps are usually removed with surgery.

View allMy wife has a single breast fibroadenoma and has tried homeopathic treatment, but it hasn't gone away. I'm really worried are there any non-surgical treatment options that could help?
If homeopathy failed to shrink fibroadenoma, surgical excision may be considered. It’s a minor outpatient procedure with quick recovery.

My mom just had an excision biopsy where they removed a lump, and the report says it's invasive duct carcinoma with an extensive in situ duct carcinoma component. They mentioned the resection margins are clear and the closest margin is 5mm from the tumor. They suggested clinicoradiological and surgical correlation. Can you explain what stage her cancer is at and how serious this is? I'm really worried about the treatment how safe are radiation and chemo given her age, and what side effects should we expect? Is it okay to combine Ayurvedic medicine with her treatment? What are the chances of a full recovery at this stage, and what's the usual process from here?
The pathology report indicates that your mom has breast cancer, specifically invasive ductal carcinoma with an extensive in situ ductal carcinoma component. The "clear margins" suggest that the surgery successfully removed all visible cancer cells, with the closest margin being 5mm away. This stage of breast cancer is generally considered early, with a good prognosis, particularly with clear margins and a good response to treatment.
