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?

View allI'm really worried and just looking for some clarity here. My mom, who's 67 and used to smoke but quit for years, had a bad case of COVID-19 with pneumonia early in 2021. After recovering, her CT scans showed a ground glass opacity, and later a Koch's lesion, but they said it was just post-COVID fibrosis and didn't need treatment. She's had a very mild dry cough that lasted for about a year and a half. Recently, in June 2022, we found out through an X-ray and CT scan that she has a 3cm lung mass in the apical segment of her right upper lobe. The scan also showed surrounding interlobular septal thickening, ground glass opacity, and bronchiectatic changes. The biopsy said it's small cell carcinoma, and it showed up as active on the PET scan. I'm really trying to understand if this cancer could have developed because of the post-COVID fibrosis since the mass is around the ground glass opacity, or if they're just unrelated. We're already starting treatment, but I'd really appreciate some insight on whether there's a connection or not.
covid is not related to cancer

I'm really worried about my fibroadenoma in my left breast. It's been there for around three years now, and I've been taking Ayurvedic medicine for the last 7 months, but the size seems to be about 32.75cm. Is this normal? Should I be doing something else for treatment or getting it checked out further? It's really stressing me out, and I'd appreciate any advice on what to do next.

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
