Yesterday the reports came in which stated only cysts were found and nothing serious. But two days ago I observed a small pea size lump on my neck and stinging pain radiating in my body and hoarness. And yesterday I observed a swollen abdomen with pain What should I do. I fear it's cancer. I observed all this within a week of time

Female | 23

It’s good that you consulted a general physician and got tests done. Since you’ve now noticed a lump in your neck, hoarseness, and other symptoms like body pain and abdominal swelling, I recommend visiting an endocrinologist or oncologist. They are specialists in thyroid and other conditions that might need further examination. It’s important not to jump to conclusions but to get proper advice from a specialist for peace of mind and accurate diagnosis.

Post-surgery, fluid collections resembling cysts often occur harmlessly on scans. Typically, these dissipate independently without causing symptoms. However, if the cyst triggers symptoms or expands, consulting your oncologist ensures everything is well.

Hi, I have a doubt, is there any specific reason for which immunotherapy is not recommended in the early stages of any cancer?

Chemotherapy works by stopping or blocking cancer cells from growing and immunotherapy works by boosting up a patient's immune system to find and then attack cancer. Though immunotherapy is gaining popularity but still it is in growing stage.

Chemotherapies have been key to cancer treatment from a very long time with all established and compiled data regarding the effects and side effects thus making doctors more confident about it in comparison to immunotherapy which is still newer. But gradually it is proving itself in some cancers as preferred line of treatment. Consult an oncologist for clear understanding.

Hello Doctor, good evening. I am Lokesh, and I am taking care of my grandmother at home. She has stage 4 cervical cancer, and we are currently focusing on palliative care. Unfortunately, we do not have regular access to a nearby doctor or hospital, so I’m managing everything myself at home. I’m doing my best to support her with love, comfort, and the correct medicines. She has been experiencing: Pain (sometimes mild, sometimes strong) Lack of sleep or restlessness Occasional constipation and vomiting feeling I have some medicines like: Tramadol 50 mg Paracetamol 650 mg Lorazepam 1 mg Pan 40 Ondansetron 4 mg Lactulose syrup Based on her condition, I would like to know: 1. When and how to use Tramadol or Paracetamol for pain. Can they be used together? 2. Is Lorazepam safe to give daily? Should I reduce it slowly if I stop? 3. What are the risks if I stop Tramadol or Lorazepam suddenly? 4. Can I use Ondansetron only when vomiting starts? Or daily? 5. How often should I give Lactulose syrup if there’s no bowel movement? 6. Do you recommend any vitamins or supportive care for comfort or strength? 7. If she is calm and has no symptoms, can I skip some medicines? I want to provide her full comfort, dignity, and peace. Kindly guide me with the best possible medicine routine and precautions I should follow at home.

Female | 68

You can give Tramadol and Paracetamol together if the pain is intense, but it's good to space them out a bit. Paracetamol can be used every 4-6 hours, and Tramadol can be taken every 4-6 hours as needed. Lorazepam can be used daily for anxiety or restlessness. If you ever need to stop it, it's best to reduce the dose gradually to prevent any withdrawal symptoms. Suddenly stopping Tramadol or Lorazepam can cause withdrawal symptoms like increased pain, anxiety, or even seizures. So, it's safer to taper them off slowly. Ondansetron can be used as needed when vomiting starts. It's usually taken 30 minutes before meals that could trigger nausea. Lactulose syrup can be given every 8-12 hours if there's no bowel movement. Make sure she's drinking enough fluids to help it work better. A daily multivitamin can be beneficial for overall health and strength. It's good for supporting the body during this time. If your grandmother is comfortable and symptom-free, you can skip some medicines. But always consult with an oncologist before making any changes.
