I have several lesions in both my breasts, and they seem to be getting worse each year. Is there any medication that can help with this? I've already had surgery to remove a lesion that was about 3 to 4 cm big. I also did an FNAC needle test, and it showed I have fibroadenoma. Can you give me some advice on what to do next?

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?
