My breast size has increased from a 3 to a 5 in just one year, and it's still growing I checked in June 2022. I can actually see and feel the changes, and the pain is really bad. Why won't the growth stop? Are there any ways to reduce the size without surgery?

Yes, minimally invasive surgery is generally a good option. It usually results in faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring. However, final decision depends on imaging findings, symptoms, and your overall health‚Äîplease consult your gynecologist.

My mom was diagnosed with colon cancer and had a laparoscopic low anterior resection surgery. The biopsy shows tumor deposits one in number but no lymph nodes involved out of 16 examined. The tumor is moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, pT3 pN1c. Since there's a tumor deposit but no lymph node involvement, does she still need chemo?

oncologist opinion is advised.
