I have been getting chronic headache since my childhood. There were times I cried due to pain. Also I met with a serious accident and survived at the age of 8 and have near about 16 stitches on my head. I used to feel the symptoms more particularly when I work. I am an NIT Graduate worked in MNC and lost job bcoz of this headache and unable to concentrate. Whenever I masturbate the head ache is much more. So I reduced masturbation a lot as well.

Hello Sir, one of my friends found blood in his stool somewhat in 2020. As it was not regular and didn't cause any discomfort, he ignored this. Just 2 months back the blood stated shown frequently and he began to experience acute pain in his pelvis. And he consulted a doctor. Now he has been diagnosed with stage three rectal cancer. He stays near Dehradun. Doctor asked him to consult some other place. He is devastated now and confused about what to do now. I am asking on his behalf. We would be thankful if you could suggest a suitable name experienced in handling these stage cases. His family is ready to take him to another city as well.

Three years back I was diagnosed with Colon cancer and treated for that. I was cancer-free after the treatment. But recently, I had to do a CT scan for a non-cancer purpose and then the doctor said there is a spot. So he asked me to have some other tests. Then one tumor was discovered during the PET scan, it's a new one. It's a particularly aggressive malignancy, and I'm losing a significant portion of my liver. And I'll have to go through chemo once more. I feel numb to thinking about the trauma I have to go through again. Can you please help with a doctor for a second opinion?

I am Ritu from Nagpur. My father is 64 and he has stomach cancer that has spread throughout his body. He recently had a stent implanted to assist him in eating and swallowing, but he is still refusing to eat since it makes him feel sick.
