My mom had a 2.68x1.49 cm breast cyst removed from her left side in 2014 the biopsy showed fibrocystic changes with a simple cyst and no malignancy. Now she's noticing a similar lump on her right side. Should she get surgery again or is there another way to handle this?

If a new breast lump appears,it should be evaluated.Surgery isn't always needed if it's benign imaging and biopsy-guided follow-up may help.

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?

My father has tongue cancer that has now spread to his throat. We're really confused about what treatment to go for some relatives suggested homeopathy, so we started that today. But the ENT specialist recommended surgery after seeing the biopsy and MRI reports. My father is scared of the operation and doesn't want to go through with it. I don't know what to do should we stick with homeopathy or follow the doctor's advice for surgery? What's the best way to treat this?

in cases such as oral cancer the patient needs to be seen and the history had to be investigated thoroughly
