Hello Sir, my mother was diagnosed with salivary gland cancer (parotid gland cancer) on 28th. It is in an advanced stage. She's 69, and on blood thinners. She is really scared and asked me to get a second opinion. Kindly refer someone who can help us through this condition.
We need to check few more details. Whether surgery done or not? Generally, surgery remains 1st step and on safe hands the age mentioned is really no an adverse factor.

CA-125 marker result came for my mother's report. The result is 1200 u/ml and the reference is 35u/ml. She was diagnosed with a ovarian tumor three days ago and is going to be operated on 19-7-21. the tumor is early stage but the CA-125 result really bothers me. could u please clear my doubts?
Female | 46
In my opinion, there are other options apart from surgery, they should be tried and surgical options can wait till a later stage.
She needs a stage-wise diagnosis and treatment which may include CT scan or PET CT.
But with virtual platform, it's highly possible that some important detail pertaining to your mother's course of treatment could have been overlooked.
If the surgery has been performed by now and she doesn't present with severe symptoms that are difficult to handle, then things may have worked, but if her condition is critical, then we will advise you to reach out to other specialists - Oncologists In India.
If you have any other doubt, then reach out to me, clinicspots team or other specialists, also let clinicspots know if you have any location-specific requirements for finding desired specialists, take care!

can cervical cancer cause b12 deficiency?
Female | 44
No, cervical cancer does not directly cause B12 deficiency. However, some cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, may affect the absorption of vitamin B12 in the body, leading to a deficiency. It is important to monitor B12 levels in cancer patients undergoing treatment and supplement as necessary to prevent deficiency.

My masi had whipple surgery in Feb 2021. Since November she has been feeling pain, bloating stomach and cramps but initially she ignored it as it is very common in people. But recently it became severe and so I consulted our doctor. Few reports are yet to come but doctor is thinking there might be peritoneal carcinomas to her stomach lining. That can lead to the early stage of Peritoneal cancer. Can you please show some light on this? We are extremely confused
Yes post Whipple surgery pain and discomfort for limited time period is a common complain. A thorough examination and investigations are mandatory if we are suspecting any progression of disease. There are specific Cancer markers which can help us diagnose the condition. Peritoneal Carcinoma has to be ruled out as soon as possible. Exact comment on treatment planning can only be done once all the investigations are done. So be in touch with your surgical oncologist and for any help.

How can we treat cancer inside colon with thrombosis in vine around small and large intestines by surgical, some doctors say there is no treatment in any place around the world . The only solution is left the case without any treatment because it is better. T
Female | 44
Cancer in the colon comes with challenges. It can cause blood clots in veins near the intestines. This leads to pain, swelling, and trouble going to the bathroom. Surgery removes cancer and treats clots. Some doctors say no cure exists. But options often help manage symptoms and improve your life. Talk thoroughly with your oncologist.

I am 49 years old. It has been a month now I have noticed that I have been experiencing pain and a burning sensation during urinating. I consulted with my gynec and she prescribed vaginal suppositories. Initially I got relief but then again it started. I feel the need to go to the washroom more frequently than usual. I am not diabetic. After all this, I didn't take it seriously. But for the last 2-3 days I had difficulties in holding it. Now I feel this is very serious because I am not old enough for this problem. I searched on the internet and found it could be a reason for bladder cancer. Is that so? Please refer to a good female doctor. I am perplexed about all these and it's making my life miserable.
Hi , don’t worry abt cancer and all.I feel it’s a urinary tract infection, get a urine routine microscopy test followed by urine culture and sensitivity.If urine routine report shows pus cells and bacteria then our diagnosis is confirmed. Visit a gynecologist with your reports.

Hello , my mother 52 y/o was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma . She underwent operation 6 months back for that and received 30 radiation therapies . Due to this , she developed osteradionecrosis . Does ayurveda holds cure to it without surgery ?
Female | 52
Osteoradionecrosis is a serious condition that occurs after radiation therapy, and while Ayurveda offers supportive care to improve overall health, it may not fully cure this condition without surgery. It's essential to consult with a maxillofacial surgeon or an oncologist who can provide the best treatment options based on your mother's specific condition.
