I'm really worried about my mom. She was diagnosed with breast cancer back in October 2013 and had her right breast removed, then went through chemo and radiation until July 2014. Recently, she's been fine except for some coughing with phlegm in the mornings. We just did a full-body PET CT scan, and it shows these small nodules in her lungs. She had an early stage of TB in 2015 and had her gall bladder removed in 2016 because of stomach pain. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and would love some guidance on what steps we should take next. Can you help point us in the right direction?

View allI'm a 21-year-old female and I've been dealing with right axillary lymphadenopathy along with central, lateral, and pectoral lymphadenopathy for about 3 years now. I was diagnosed with a 49mm fibroadenoma in the upper quadrant of my right breast through USG and FNAC around the same time. I'm really worried because these lymph nodes have been persistent and haven't shrunk, despite stopping the removal of axillary hair for months. There's no infection in my arms or chest, no nipple discharge, but sometimes I do feel a prickly sensation in my breast. Should I be concerned about the lymph nodes not reducing in size? What could be causing this?

My dad was just diagnosed with esophageal cancer at Stage IIB and we're really confused about the best treatment options. Should we go for surgery right away or consider chemo and radiotherapy first? The reports show it's progressed a bit and we're not sure what approach would work best for his case. Could you help us understand what treatments might be most effective? We're especially worried about whether surgery alone would be enough or if combining treatments would give better results. The diagnosis has us pretty overwhelmed and we'd really appreciate some clarity on the possible next steps.

My mom was diagnosed with colon cancer and had a laparoscopic low anterior resection surgery. The biopsy shows tumor deposits one in number but no lymph nodes involved out of 16 examined. The tumor is moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, pT3 pN1c. Since there's a tumor deposit but no lymph node involvement, does she still need chemo?
