I'm a bit worried about my lymph nodes. About five months ago, a CT scan showed my lymph node was 16mm, and I had another scan today showing it's down to 8mm. I'm seeing Dr. Ujjwal Parikh at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, and I'm feeling better, but I'd love to get some extra advice to be sure everything's okay. What do you think about these changes, and should I be concerned about anything?

Fats (nuts, oils, fish) Especially following surgery, healthy fat helps your body absorb all those yummy vitamins you are getting from your fruits and veggies. Fat is essential for strengthening your immune system and decreasing your chance of infection.

My dad has stage 2 colorectal cancer with blood loss and also had a heart attack recently. He's been diagnosed with CAD TVD and has around 90% blockage doctors suggested bypass surgery but can't do it because of the blood loss from cancer. What's the best way to handle the cancer surgery in this situation?
Taking up for colon surgery with CAD TVD would be very risky. Depending on the location of tumour, management can be decided. If it is rectal cancer, then you can give neoadjuvant radiation which will control the bleeding, then plan for cardiac surgery followed by LAR surgery for rectal cancer. However if it is colon cancer, then it is difficult. You can consult any interventional radiologist to see if any Embolisation procedure can be planned for controlling the bleeding. Next Steps Proceed to any higher centre as this case needs multidisciplinary approach
