View allI'm really concerned about the situation with my lung nodules. Back in 2018, I had a left radical nephrectomy because of CCRCC, and they found a small lung nodule later that year. Then, in 2019, the CT thorax showed there were multiple nodules, with the largest being 3.5mm. By October 2019, another CT revealed that the largest nodule had grown to 7.5mm, and the distribution had changed as well. This is all being managed at TMC Mumbai, but I'm worried about whether the increase in size is something to worry about. Can you shed some light on this for me?
yes you should worry, consult a pulmonologist

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.
