My lymph nodes are swollen and seem to be spreading everywhere is there any alternative treatment besides surgery that could help? I'm really worried about this and looking for options

Swollen lymph nodes that seem to be "spreading everywhere" could indicate an infection, a response to a foreign substance, or even cancer, but it's crucial to get a diagnosis from a doctor. While some cases of swollen lymph nodes may resolve on their own, and some can be treated with medications, surgery is not always the first or only treatment option. If you're concerned about your swollen lymph nodes, it's important to consult with a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment

My uncle has bowel cancer and his doctors said surgery isn't an option because he's not strong enough. He's getting worse every day and I'm really worried how can I send you his test results for a second opinion? What other treatment options might help him?

If surgery not an option, chemo, radiation, or palliative care can help manage bowel cancer; share test reports for second opinion with oncologist.
