I've got this hard lump below my collarbone and above my breast that feels like bone and it's been there for over two years. It doesn't hurt or anything, so I never worried much about it. But recently I got this rash, and the dermatologist said it's pityriasis rosea. Theres also a swollen lymph node on my neck and I just noticed another hard, immovable, and painless lump below the first one. Should I be worried about these lumps?

My relative is 58 and was diagnosed with breast cancer with supraclavicular lymph node involvement about 20 days ago. She's had an FNAC report and PET scan done. What's the best therapy for her should she start with chemo first or is surgery the better initial option? What are the most effective treatments available?

For breast cancer with supraclavicular lymph node involvement, a multi-modal approach combining surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy is often the most effective treatment. The order of treatments can vary, but chemotherapy is frequently given before surgery to shrink the tumor and reduce the spread of cancer

I'm really worried because my doctor said I have stage 3 lung cancer, but they didn't explain if it's 3A, 3B, or 3C. I have the PET scan and biopsy reports, which mention Moderately Differentiated Adenocarcinoma. Could you help me understand what this all means?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm a bit concerned because about a year ago I started feeling some pain in my breast and I kind of brushed it off. Now I've noticed a lump there and it's kind of painful. I'm really worried about what this might mean. Could you give me some advice on what to do next?
