Questions & Answers on "Cancer" (354)

Hello, I am 64 years now. I was diagnosed with throat cancer. It's been six months since I finished radiotherapy. But I'm still nauseous all of the time and can't eat or swallow anything. The discomfort in my mouth and throat, as well as the ulcers, are excruciating.

Radiation therapy in throat cancer is a very common treatment modality. It is associated with some side effects which reduce after a certain time period. Nausea, difficulty in swallowing, stomatitis and dryness of mouth are common side effects after Radiation therapy. These side effects can be managed through some saliva substitutes for keeping the mouth moist. You can use some lubricating anaesthesia solutions suggested by oncologist to help in reducing pain because of ulceration. Nutrition is the key to general well being of the body, so if difficulty in swallowing you can opt for temporary feeding tube to fulfill the nutritional needs of the body.

In palliative care patients with serious illnesses are provided with comfort, pain relief and support with the goal of enhancing their quality of life. It does not mean that there is no hope, but doctors advice this when curative treatment are no longer available. If you're confused you can seek a second opinion from another oncologist.

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.

Hi doctor I'm poojashree...one of my friend has a stomach cancer...in the 2nd stage...it's curable...what we have to do for it...

Male | 23

The second stage of stomach cancer is very much treatable. Common signs can be constant stomach pain, not intended weight loss, and indigestion. Among the triggers are smoking, eating processed foods, and family history. Options for therapy can consist of both a surgical procedure, chemotherapy, and, indeed, radiation. Fully implement the oncologist's advice, to increase the possibility of the final recovery.

I'd want to ask a few questions about colon cancer. My brother is a colon cancer patient and is undergoing chemotherapy. I'd appreciate it if you could let me know if nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and chest pain are usual symptoms.

Chemotherapy always has mild to moderate side effects. Nausea, Vomiting, hyperacidity and weakness are common side effects.

During the chemotherapy sessions and even after it some pre and post Chemotherapy drugs are prescribed to prevent or reduce these side effects. In case of extensive discomfort you should always consult your medical oncologist and seek his/her opinion

I am a 24 year old girl presenting all classic symptoms of hogdkins lymphoma, but im not sure what is the next step

Female | 24

I know it is hard to have symptoms that seem like Hodgkin's lymphoma. This kind of cancer can make the lymph nodes swell up. It can make you feel very tired too. You might lose weight without trying. You might get sweaty at night. The best thing to do is see a doctor who treats cancer. The doctor might need to do a test called a biopsy to know for sure if you have Hodgkin's lymphoma. The biopsy can help the doctor plan the right treatment for you.

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 u cure the 1st stage of cancer

Male | 40

When we talk about cancer, early detection is the key. The 1st stage signifies that the tumors are still small and have not developed into metastasis yet. Symptoms may not be obvious, but you might notice some unusual body changes. Causes may differ, but always it is not clear why they emerge. The main solution for 1st-stage cancer is to remove or destroy the abnormal cells through treatments like surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy. The end goal of these therapies is to eliminate cancer and prevent its recurrence. Timely diagnosis and treatment are the factors controlling successful acute leukemia treatment in the first stage.

My mother is suffering from gallbladder cancer stage 3rd …is cure possible in this stage

Female | 45

In stage 3 gallbladder cancer the cancer spreads to all nearby tissues or lymph nodes. While it's more advanced, it is not necessarily incurable. It can be treated with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. It would be best if you visit a cancer specialist near you for a personalised advice about her treatment soon.

I had pain in my armpit without lumps and even body aches, fatigue, bloating, reduced appetite and breathlessness occasionally. So I consulted general physician, he checked but no lumps found and he said due to panic regarding this lump I was getting all symptoms. But he suggested for thyroid and usg whole abdomen. 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.
