My wife was diagnosed with BIRADS 4A fibroadenoma, and the FNAC and ultrasound showed it's non-malignant. We're really hesitant about surgery can homeopathy or ayurveda help treat this condition? Looking for alternatives that might work.

For a confirmed, non-malignant BIRADS 4A fibroadenoma, while surgery is often recommended, there are other options, including watchful waiting and minimally invasive procedures. Homeopathy and Ayurveda can be used to manage symptoms, but they haven't been proven to cure fibroadenomas or replace standard medical treatments

I'm a 27-year-old guy with multiple lymph nodes, around 6-7, in my right neck. Had surgery attempted in 2018 but the surgeon said it was too risky to remove directly. FNAC didn't work just blood came out. Seen over 10 ENTs and oncologists but nobody can confirm if it's cancer or just fatty lumps. Spent all my savings on tests and consultations, no insurance for surgery, so I'm stuck due to finances. One surgeon warned I might lose my voice if operated on. There's also a small node on my right thyroid. It's been 5+ years no throat pain, night sweats, or cough, occasional fever but I eat fine. Any idea what this could be or what else I can do?

ent follow-up is advised to the patient.

I'm a bit worried and I'm hoping you can help. If someone doesn't have cancer but has an abnormal CT scan, would they still need to get a PET scan? Is it something only cancer patients go through? Also, are PET scans safe for elderly women? I just need some clarity on this.

for nomal people also we do pet scan

My father has an advanced stage brain tumor and due to his age, doctors are saying surgery isn't an option and we should just wait. Is there really nothing else we can do or explore for him?

Please provide more details of the CT scan or MRI brain he has undergone. Also, is he having any symptoms like headache, double vision or vomitting
