I'm 32 and have a cyst in my left breast. After seeing a doctor, they said it's fibroadenosis and mentioned surgery as a treatment. I'm really unsure about having surgery. Are there other options besides surgery that I could consider? And if I do go through with surgery, what kind of impact might it have on me? I'm a bit worried about these next steps.

Fibroadenosis is a benign condition, and in many cases, surgery may not be necessary. Non-surgical treatments, such as monitoring, medications for pain relief, or changes in lifestyle, are options to manage the condition. If surgery is recommended, it is generally safe, but its important to discuss any potential risks or concerns with your doctor for personalized advice.

I'm really concerned about the situation with my lung nodules. Back in 2018, I had a left radical nephrectomy because of CCRCC, and they found a small lung nodule later that year. Then, in 2019, the CT thorax showed there were multiple nodules, with the largest being 3.5mm. By October 2019, another CT revealed that the largest nodule had grown to 7.5mm, and the distribution had changed as well. This is all being managed at TMC Mumbai, but I'm worried about whether the increase in size is something to worry about. Can you shed some light on this for me?
yes you should worry, consult a pulmonologist

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
