My PET scan shows no distant spread and clear lymph nodes, but I have obstructive jaundice and the doctors say it's operable. What are the risks of this surgery and is this type of cancer curable? Really worried and need some clarity

View allMy wife has a single breast fibroadenoma and has tried homeopathic treatment, but it hasn't gone away. I'm really worried are there any non-surgical treatment options that could help?
If homeopathy failed to shrink fibroadenoma, surgical excision may be considered. It’s a minor outpatient procedure with quick recovery.

My wife is 29 and found some lumps, so her doctor recommended an ultrasound which showed multiple cysts with the largest being 17mm. The FNAC came back as benign fibroadenoma. We're unsure whether to go for surgery to remove it or just keep monitoring it what would you suggest is the best approach?
The results indicate multiple breast cysts and a fibroadenoma, both benign conditions. Fibroadenomas are common, non-cancerous breast lumps, and the FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) confirming a benign fibroadenoma suggests this lump is not cancerous. The cysts, especially a 17mm cyst, are also benign and don't typically require treatment.

I'm really concerned about what the FNAC report means for my left-sided cervical lymph node swelling. It mentioned necrotizing granulomatous lymphadenitis with small lymphocytes, immunoblasts, macrophages, and some epithelioid cell granulomas, plus specks of necrosis. Could you explain what this means and suggest any treatments? Also, should I be worried about this finding?
Treatment for necrotizing granulomatous lymphadenitis typically involves a course of antibiotics such as **Augmentin (AmoxicillinClavulanic Acid). In cases where the infection is severe or not responding to antibiotics, a short course of **Prednisone** may be prescribed to reduce inflammation. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
