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.

Which is the better option for treating cancer surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation? I'm really confused about the best approach and worried about side effects or effectiveness. Can you explain the pros and cons of each?

Location of the Cancer: If the cancer is localized (in one area), radiation therapy may be preferred because it targets specific spots. However, if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body (systemic cancer), chemotherapy is typically more effective.

My wife was diagnosed with BIRADS 4A fibroadenoma, and the FNAC and ultrasound showed it's non-malignant. We're really hesitant about surgery can homeopathy or ayurveda help treat this condition? Looking for alternatives that might work.

For a confirmed, non-malignant BIRADS 4A fibroadenoma, while surgery is often recommended, there are other options, including watchful waiting and minimally invasive procedures. Homeopathy and Ayurveda can be used to manage symptoms, but they haven't been proven to cure fibroadenomas or replace standard medical treatments
