Question 1

My uncle had surgery for oral cancer a few months ago and completed radiation therapy over a month back. He's been weak but recovering well, but recently he's noticed blood in his saliva or mucus once or twice a day. The radiation specialist and oncologist said it's normal, but I'm still a bit concerned. Is bleeding like this really a common side effect after radiation or should we be more worried about it?

Accepted Answer

patient is advised for ent surgeon for further treatment.

Question 2

I'm a 30-year-old woman with a neck lump that's been there for a while. The ENT at RML Hospital did tests thyroid profile and anti-TPO were normal, but the ultrasound showed a 26x38 mm echogenic nodule in the right lobe. The FNAC came back as Atypical/Suspicious Follicular Neoplasm, Bethesda Grade IV. The doctor recommended surgery, but I really want to avoid it if possible since I'm the only earner in my family and cost is a big concern. What are my options? Should I get a second opinion at Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Hospital?

Surgery is inevitable next step in the evaluation. You may be suffering from thyroid cancer. But considering your age and description, it may be in initial stage in present and may be curable

Question 3

I'm feeling a bit concerned because I've noticed a lump next to my right nipple that moves around and is slightly painful. I've had similar lumps on my thighs before. About ten months ago, I had a chest CT scan after having COVID, and everything was clear. Could this lump be dangerous?
