I've noticed that my left breast has been swollen for over a month now, and I'm really concerned about it. Could you explain what might be causing this? Should I be worried? Also, what kind of doctor should I see about this? Is this something serious?

View allI'm a bit worried because I've had a pea-sized lump in my left armpit for about 6 weeks now. It's not painful or anything, but it hasn't gone away on its own. Could this be some kind of infection or something else? What should I do?
While many lumps under the armpit are harmless and related to lymph nodes or benign growths like cysts or lipomas, it's always best to get it checked by a doctor, especially if it's persistent. Your doctor will be able to provide a diagnosis based on your medical history, physical examination, and possibly imaging tests.

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
