I'm really concerned about a tumor in my breast that's about 1.5 inches from the top. It feels round, but the inside seems flat. It's been painful twice a week, and I feel the same pain on my back where the tumor is located. I've been seeing a homeopathic doctor who said it would improve in six months, but it seems to be getting worse and I haven't done any medical tests yet. What should I do?

I've been trying to make sense of something after a recent CT scan. It showed a large lymph node mass that's partially encasing some major blood vessels around my kidneys and pancreas. About two years ago, my doctor said it was linked to tuberculosis, so I took medicine for over a year, but the lymph node only got a little bigger. Do you have any idea why that's happening? Also, I've gained about 10kg in just two months and I'm kind of concerned. Is treatment for this really necessary, or should I just leave it as is? Any thoughts on why the weight gain could be happening?

I found an echogenic mass lesion in my breast that's 22020 mm in size on ultrasound and the doctor recommended surgery. Is surgery really necessary for this kind of mass? What could be causing it and are there other options?

A 22x20 mm echogenic breast lesion could suggest a fibroadenoma or benign tumor, but surgery is often advised to rule out malignancy. A biopsy or FNAC may help confirm before proceeding.
