Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
During recovery from breast cancer surgery and chemotherapy, incorporating nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables is crucial for healing and boosting the immune system. Focus on colorful produce, including dark leafy greens, deep yellow and orange vegetables, and citrus fruits, which are packed with vitamins and minerals. These foods can also help manage some of the side effects of cancer treatment

View allI'm a 27-year-old guy and I've had this lump inside my left chest for over two years now. It's pretty weird because I can feel it when I touch it, and it hurts then, but otherwise, there's no pain. The size hasn't changed, and there aren't any other symptoms. I'm not on any medication, but I'm really worried it might be a tumor. Any idea what this could be?

My mom had her right breast fully removed two weeks ago because of stage 2 breast cancer. What foods or diet should she focus on to keep her body healthy and help the surgery wound heal faster?
A balanced diet with high protein, vitamins (especially Vitamin C and D), and zinc can aid recovery post-breast cancer surgery. Focus on foods that promote healing, like fruits, vegetables, and lean meats.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's had these enlarged supraclavicular lymph nodes for two years now. There are no signs of TB like fever, weight loss, or fatigue, and she's been managing her diabetes pretty well. There was nothing in the lymph nodes when tested for CBNAAT. The ultrasound showed they're quite large, and the biopsy results indicated granulomatous lymphadenitis. The document says TB needs to be ruled out, and the AFB stain came back negative. They also mentioned something about doing a TBPCR test to make sure it's not tuberculosis. The microscopic findings talked about some kind of granulomas but no caseous necrosis was found. TB PCR didn't show any sign of MTB or non-TB mycobacteria. I'm quite confused and worried about what all this means. Is this something serious? What should we do next?
That could be non specific TB infection,might need complete course of ATT, visit physician for appropriate management
