I'm really worried about my fibroadenoma in my left breast. It's been there for around three years now, and I've been taking Ayurvedic medicine for the last 7 months, but the size seems to be about 32.75cm. Is this normal? Should I be doing something else for treatment or getting it checked out further? It's really stressing me out, and I'd appreciate any advice on what to do next.

Is surgery really the last option for thymoma or are there other treatments I should consider first What are the risks if I delay surgery for thymoma and try other treatments How do I know if my thymoma is advanced enough to need surgery right away Can radiation or chemo work for thymoma instead of going straight to surgery What symptoms would make surgery unavoidable for thymoma

Thymomas are typically treated with surgery if they are large or invasive. Radiation and chemotherapy can sometimes be used in conjunction, especially for advanced stages. Delaying surgery can increase risks, so prompt consultation with a thoracic surgeon is essential.
