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 allI'm really worried about my 67-year-old mom, who used to smoke back in her teens but quit ages ago. She had a tough bout with Covid pneumonia in December 2020 and thankfully recovered. Still, a CT scan afterward showed some scattered ground glass opacities in her upper right lung, but they didn't give her any treatment then. She had this dry cough hanging around for over a year, but nothing serious came of it until we did another CT scan after a year and a couple of months. This scan showed a soft tissue mass around 3 cm in her upper right lung with surrounding interlobular septal thickening, ground glass opacities, and bronchiectatic changes. A PET scan said it's metabolically active, and a biopsy showed it's small cell carcinoma. They've started treatment now. I'm just trying to understand, could the post-Covid fibrosis and ground glass opacities have caused this small cell carcinoma? It's really concerning since the lung mass was found surrounded by those ground glass opacities. Any insights would really help me.
no covid doesn't cause small cell carcinoma

My mother is 42 and has a uterine tumor that doctors say is cancerous. They want to wait 6 weeks to dry the wound before considering surgery. Is this the right approach or should surgery be done sooner?
oncologist opinion.

I'm really concerned about the situation with my lung nodules. Back in 2018, I had a left radical nephrectomy because of CCRCC, and they found a small lung nodule later that year. Then, in 2019, the CT thorax showed there were multiple nodules, with the largest being 3.5mm. By October 2019, another CT revealed that the largest nodule had grown to 7.5mm, and the distribution had changed as well. This is all being managed at TMC Mumbai, but I'm worried about whether the increase in size is something to worry about. Can you shed some light on this for me?
yes you should worry, consult a pulmonologist
