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.

In 2020 ultrasound showed a complex ovarian cyst on one ovary measuring 3cm. The other cyst was normal. There was followup after three months with u-s and mri that showed no increase in size. No further follow ups. I read that complex cysts are at risk for malignancy, particularly for older women, and require monitoring. Wouldn’t that mean every six to twelve months? So my other questions are if EVERY complex cyst should have monitoring? And is it recommended to have oophorectomy and possibly hysterectomy assuming good health with no preexisting conditions? Thank you.
Female | 82
Complex ovarian cysts can have a risk of malignancy and usually require monitoring. Whether to undergo oophorectomy or hysterectomy should be based on the characteristics of the cyst, overall health, and personal preferences. You must consider what your doctor suggests.

What are the symptoms one can experience if they have Eye Cancer? Are they noticeable or do they go unnoticed?
Eye cancer does not always cause obvious symptoms and may only be picked up during a routine eye test. Some of the common symptoms of eye cancer are:
- Shadows
- Flashes of light
- Blurred vision
- Dark patch in eye that's getting bigger
- Partial or total loss of vision
- Bulging of 1 eye
- A lump on eyelid or in eye that's increasing in size
- Pain in or around eye, others.
The above mentioned symptoms can also be caused by more minor eye conditions, so they're not necessarily a sign of cancer. Consult an ophthalmologist. Hope our answer helps you.

My mom is a 54 years old lady and have been feeling something in her neck and her voice was also changing.So she showed a doctor today and he had see an ultrasound and said he saw 2 glands in her neck.I have her report and i want to show it to u.And my mom also had breast cancer 1 year ago and she has been cured.So i want to know if this neck problem is related to cancer or not
Female | 54
Having two glands in the neck could be due to many things, not just cancer. Sometimes, enlarged glands are the result of infections and other reasons too. Since your mom had breast cancer before, it's imperative to get it thoroughly checked out by a specialist to make sure everything is okay. It's always good to be cautious and keep an eye on any changes in the body, especially after you have already been cancer-free for a while. Voice changes and neck discomfort can be signs of several things, so it's best to get it checked by an oncologist.

My aunt has heart cancer and she’s on the last stage. The doctor said that there’s no treatment but I’m hoping for a cure? Is there any possibilities?
Female | 49
Heart cancer is a very vague term. Usually atrial myxoma is the most common tumour in the heart. And the only best option of treatment of atrial myxomas is surgical removal. Whether the case is operable or inoperable will decide the prognosis.

Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer is beyond the breast and has reared its ugly head in other body parts. It can be a painful body with a few other symptoms could be: shortness of breath, fatigue, and weight loss. The cancer cells are the cause of this manifesting so dangerously.

Is cancer treatment in ayurveda? Stage 2,3rd jaws infected
Male | 37
Ayurveda offers supportive care for cancer, including natural remedies to boost immunity and reduce side effects, but it is not a substitute for conventional cancer treatment. For stage 2 or 3 jaw cancer, it is essential to consult an oncologist or a specialized oncologist for appropriate treatment options like surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. Always rely on expert medical advice and treatments.

Male | 72
CAR-T cell therapy is a type of immune therapy, which can be beneficial in treating some cancers, but not always. A doctor will be able to find out whether such therapy suits his condition and to advise him on the best therapy in his case. It is vital to consult an oncologist to receive the best in terms of treatment.

I think i have skin cancer but i don’t know how to tell
Female | 14
If you suspect skin cancer, consult a dermatologist. Monitor any changes in moles or spots using the ABCDE rule. Take photos for documentation and avoid self diagnosis. A dermatologist can perform a thorough examination and potentially conduct a biopsy if necessary. Early detection is key for successful treatment.

Lump under armpit - thought I had a muscle strain, go to check my armpit where the pain is and there’s a hard edamame size lump. This shoots ache down my arm and the location under pit is painful. Warm compress is all I’ve done.
Female | 23
That may be a symptom of the breast infection, cyst or even cancer. In this situation, a specialist to refer to is an oncologist or a breast surgeon. The application of warm compress might give just the temporary relief of the pain, but it is critical to see a doctor as soon as possible.
