Hi, On targeted therapy, only palbociclib is available in india with low cost or verzenio also available please? I know ribociclib is only available as imported and its too costly as well. So doctors prescribed palbociclib indian version. But is it effective in liver mets which showed mild metabolic activity in pet ct. I have read many liver mets were taking verzenio or capecitabine. Please suggest

The image i am attaching is the cyst or something like that just in between the tongue's back part and the epiglottis. I had posted a free query in the ENT section one doctor mentioned vallecular cyst. The closest similar pictures i could come across was epiglottic cyst on google. They look pretty similar to this. So i had observed this thing since last year or many months you csn say. Hx: I have history of allergies, recurrent throat infections and also tonsillitis since childhood. Recently had a bad chest infection, sfter a throat infection. After that the cough has reduced a lot but sometimes i get tickling issue in my lower throat, not sure if its cuz of this. And i dont smoke or eat tobacco. I rarely drink thst too in moderation. Never had choking symptoms or any apnea. Please guide me doctors, i am extremely scared. I am 27M, fairly active. Only symptom is occasional throat tickling or irritation mostly after eating food. But i would not call it as sore throat. Please gu
