Hello, my aunt was diagnosed with a brain tumor after a bad fall on December 31st. We were advised that surgery would be impossible due to her age and other considerations and she would be unable to undergo chemo, therefore she will be treated solely with steroids. We are not sure about this hence would like to go for a second opinion. She has diabetes also. We are from Kolkata.

To give opinion about appropriate treatment for your aunt, you need to physically consult an oncologist, show the MRI report and films and then he will be able to give opinion. Along with steroids, depending on tumor location, she might also need anti epilepsy medicines

How i knew i had uterine cancer?
Answered on 23rd May '24
- Uterine cancer most commonly presents with bleeding ( heavy bleeding during periods, erratic bleeding on and off or continuously, spotting).
- Sometimes there might be only discharge, or only ultrasound report showing some changes.
- These are most common starting signals. Rarely it may present with unusual symptoms.
