I'm feeling anxious about a hard lump I've noticed in the upper left area of my chest, close to my left breast. It feels almost like a bone or something solid just beneath the skin. Whenever I touch it, I'm reminded of how hard it is, and it's got me pretty worried. Could it be something serious? What might be causing this?

I'm really worried about my 70-year-old mom. She's been on levatin ib tablets for her thyroid cancer treatment and recently we've noticed this white mucous discharge. It's been going on for about two weeks now, but there's no foul odor. She just had a PET scan two days ago and it didn't show anything unusual. She's also bedridden and uses diapers. Could this discharge indicate an infection or something more serious? Wouldn't the PET scan have picked up on anything serious if there was something wrong?

The mucous white discharge in your 70-year-old mother, who is bedridden and undergoing thyroid cancer treatment with Levatin IB, could be indicative of a urinary tract infection (UTI), especially given her age, immobility, and use of diapers; although the PET scan didn't reveal any abnormalities, UTIs may not always show up on PET scans; it's essential to consult her doctor or oncologist about this new symptom, as they may prescribe antibiotics or order additional tests, such as a urine culture, to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
