Prostate cancer or infection stage 4
Hello Doctor, my grandfather (Nanu) has Stage 4 prostate cancer and we are from Alwar, Rajasthan. He has severe pain from lower back/waist area to knees. Earlier, his testicles were surgically removed and currently he is on chemotherapy medicines. It has been 5 days since medicines started and he is gradually becoming weaker. Now he is finding it difficult to walk properly and we are very concerned. Could you please guide whether this is expected or urgent? Also, if needed, could you recommend a good specialist near "Jaipur", Delhi, or nearby areas? Could you please guide us regarding what kind of diet/food he should take during this time? Also, are there any foods we should avoid?
Painless Groin Lymph Node Swelling
My grandmother is 72 years old and has painless external swelling/lumps near the groin/private-part area. She is otherwise normal, but she gets anxious and her BP increases during hospital visits. We consulted a gynecologist and general physician. Ultrasound report mentions bilateral inguinal nodal mass lesions and suprapubic lymph nodes, largest around 33 × 30 mm, with loss of fatty hilum and increased vascularity on Doppler. Impression says morphology is indeterminate/sonographically suspicious: lymphomatous / metastatic / granulomatous lymphadenitis. Report advised FNAC/core/excision biopsy and MRI pelvis with contrast. Please advise which specialist we should consult first: gynecologic oncologist, surgical oncologist, medical oncologist, or general surgeon? Also, should we proceed with FNAC/core biopsy first, or MRI pelvis with contrast first?
