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?

I've noticed some hard, movable lumps in my left breast that hurt when I press them. I've been stressed lately and sometimes my periods are late. There's also some discomfort in my armpit area. Could this be something serious like cancer, or can it be treated with medicines? Would I need surgery for this?

I've noticed something concerning lately there's a lump under my arm, and it's been there for a couple of months now. It seems to come and go, and sometimes it gets bigger before shrinking again after a few days. It's pretty soft to touch, but now I'm starting to feel something similar in the other armpit too. Should I be worried about this? What could it possibly be?

Observe the Lumps: If they continue to grow, cause pain, or do not go away, you should consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis. Medical Evaluation: A healthcare professional may want to examine the lumps physically, and potentially order an ultrasound or biopsy to rule out other conditions, particularly if you're concerned about the lumps appearing in both armpits. Watch for Changes: If the lumps become painful, larger, or change in appearance (color, warmth, etc.), it's important to seek medical attention quickly.
