I'm a 21-year-old female and I've been dealing with right axillary lymphadenopathy along with central, lateral, and pectoral lymphadenopathy for about 3 years now. I was diagnosed with a 49mm fibroadenoma in the upper quadrant of my right breast through USG and FNAC around the same time. I'm really worried because these lymph nodes have been persistent and haven't shrunk, despite stopping the removal of axillary hair for months. There's no infection in my arms or chest, no nipple discharge, but sometimes I do feel a prickly sensation in my breast. Should I be concerned about the lymph nodes not reducing in size? What could be causing this?

Is surgery really the last option for thymoma or are there other treatments I should consider first What are the risks if I delay surgery for thymoma and try other treatments How do I know if my thymoma is advanced enough to need surgery right away Can radiation or chemo work for thymoma instead of going straight to surgery What symptoms would make surgery unavoidable for thymoma
Thymomas are typically treated with surgery if they are large or invasive. Radiation and chemotherapy can sometimes be used in conjunction, especially for advanced stages. Delaying surgery can increase risks, so prompt consultation with a thoracic surgeon is essential.

My lymph nodes are swollen and seem to be spreading everywhere is there any alternative treatment besides surgery that could help? I'm really worried about this and looking for options
Swollen lymph nodes that seem to be "spreading everywhere" could indicate an infection, a response to a foreign substance, or even cancer, but it's crucial to get a diagnosis from a doctor. While some cases of swollen lymph nodes may resolve on their own, and some can be treated with medications, surgery is not always the first or only treatment option. If you're concerned about your swollen lymph nodes, it's important to consult with a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment
