I've recently noticed a lump in my right breast and saw a doctor, had a scan done, and it showed up in the retro areola region. I was given some medicine, but now I've got swelling and it's really painful. The lump seems to be moving around. What should I do next?

View allWhat are the different cancer treatment options available and how effective is each one? I'm curious if there are alternatives to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery that might work better or have fewer side effects
Cancer treatment options include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, hormone therapy, stem cell transplant, and more. Each treatment's effectiveness varies depending on the cancer type, stage, and individual patient factors. While chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery remain common, newer approaches like immunotherapy and targeted therapy are showing promise with potentially fewer side effects for some patients.

I'm really worried and just looking for some clarity here. My mom, who's 67 and used to smoke but quit for years, had a bad case of COVID-19 with pneumonia early in 2021. After recovering, her CT scans showed a ground glass opacity, and later a Koch's lesion, but they said it was just post-COVID fibrosis and didn't need treatment. She's had a very mild dry cough that lasted for about a year and a half. Recently, in June 2022, we found out through an X-ray and CT scan that she has a 3cm lung mass in the apical segment of her right upper lobe. The scan also showed surrounding interlobular septal thickening, ground glass opacity, and bronchiectatic changes. The biopsy said it's small cell carcinoma, and it showed up as active on the PET scan. I'm really trying to understand if this cancer could have developed because of the post-COVID fibrosis since the mass is around the ground glass opacity, or if they're just unrelated. We're already starting treatment, but I'd really appreciate some insight on whether there's a connection or not.
covid is not related to cancer
