Question

I've recently noticed a lump in my right breast and saw a doctor, had a scan done, and it showed up in the retro areola region. I was given some medicine, but now I've got swelling and it's really painful. The lump seems to be moving around. What should I do next?

My rectal cancer was stage 1 T2 N0 Mx surgery went well but I keep worrying it'll return. What's the usual follow-up plan to catch recurrence early? Had surgery for early-stage rectal cancer (T2 N0 Mx) last month should I be super worried about recurrence or are the odds in my favor?

Question

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?
