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.

View allAre mediastinal lymph nodes normal?
Normal mediastinal lymph noder measure less then 10 mm. Healthy lymph nodes can be larger, due to reactive hyperplasia from acute infection or chronic lung diseases such as emphysema or pulmonary fibrosis. However, enlarged lymph nodes are most worrisome for a pathologic process such as lymphoma, malignant metastases, or sarcoidosis.

I'm really worried about my fibroadenoma in my left breast. It's been there for around three years now, and I've been taking Ayurvedic medicine for the last 7 months, but the size seems to be about 32.75cm. Is this normal? Should I be doing something else for treatment or getting it checked out further? It's really stressing me out, and I'd appreciate any advice on what to do next.

My uncle had surgery for oral cancer a few months ago and completed radiation therapy over a month back. He's been weak but recovering well, but recently he's noticed blood in his saliva or mucus once or twice a day. The radiation specialist and oncologist said it's normal, but I'm still a bit concerned. Is bleeding like this really a common side effect after radiation or should we be more worried about it?
