I've been diagnosed with calcification in my breasts and was told I might need surgery. I'm really nervous about it and wondering if there are other treatment options I could explore before going under the knife. Is surgery the only way, or are there alternatives I should consider?

Most causes of breast calcification are benign (not cancerous) and don't require treatment. The radiologist who reviews your X-rays for future mammograms can compare new images to previous ones and see if the calcifications have changed.

View allI'm a bit worried and I'm hoping you can help. If someone doesn't have cancer but has an abnormal CT scan, would they still need to get a PET scan? Is it something only cancer patients go through? Also, are PET scans safe for elderly women? I just need some clarity on this.

I'm trying to figure out if there's any connection between Primosa 1000 which my oncologist prescribed for a fibrous lump in my breast, and the severe hairfall I've been experiencing. I've been taking it for about three months now, and the hairfall started around two months ago. Is this normal, or should I be worried?
The main use is to reduce pain and tenderness due to the diseasei.e lump, hence tab primosa is advised to the patient.

my aunt was just diagnosed with rectal cancer and her MRI and biopsy reports show it's an early lesion her CT scans for chest and abdomen came back normal she's wondering if she really needs to go through all three treatments - chemo, radiation, and surgery or if she can skip some since it's early stage also what type of surgery would be most suitable and how long she might need a colostomy bag after
For early-stage rectal cancer, the usual approach is surgery, with chemo and radiation considered depending on tumor size and location. The type of surgery (like low anterior resection) will determine the need for a colostomy bag, which is often temporary.
