I'm really worried and need some guidance. I've been dealing with pain and a burning sensation in my right nipple for about 45 days and mild pain in my right armpit for a few days. I've taken a lot of medicine, but nothing seems to help. I had a mammogram and an ultrasound done; the mammogram was all clear, but the ultrasound showed a well-defined oval hypoechoic lesion measuring 63 mm in the 34 clock position of my right breast. It also noted some bilateral axillary lymph nodes with preserved fatty hila that they said were insignificant. I also had my right ovary removed because of a dermoid cyst, and my left ovary is normal in size but shows multiple peripherally arranged follicles, and they said it appears polycystic. I'm really anxiouscould this possibly be cancer?

Based on your symptoms and test results, it's unlikely to be breast cancer, given the clear mammogram and ultrasound findings describing a small, well-defined hypoechoic lesion, which may be a benign cyst or fibroadenoma; however, the persistent nipple pain and burning warrant further evaluation by a breast specialist or a multidisciplinary team to rule out other conditions like ductal ectasia, periductal mastitis, or hormonal imbalances, which may be related to your history of ovarian issues, including the removed dermoid cyst and polycystic-appearing left ovary.

View allmy 33-year-old wife was diagnosed with malignant melanoma on her left knee back in 2013 and had surgery then in 2015 it spread to her right thigh she's been on several chemo drugs like dacarbazine paclitaxel and celecoxib plus metronomic chemo since 2016 an MRI in august 2016 showed multiple brain metastases with swelling and mass effect she got palliative whole brain radiotherapy 30Gy over 2 weeks would immunotherapy be an option for her now
Sure. But majority are still investigational still. Newer drugs are also available. The cost is prohibitively very high. You must see a medical oncologist and discuss the options and costs.

my mother has stage 3A breast cancer and is getting treatment at SGPGIMS but the doctors aren't clear about how many chemo cycles she'll need they mentioned maybe 10 cycles but does that mean 5 before surgery and 5 after or something else also they said it could go beyond 10 if her body responds well is there no standard number of cycles for different cancer stages and which hospital would be best for breast cancer treatment
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
