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?

Untreated endometrial hyperplasia

Hi, as part of my pre-IVF evaluation I underwent a hysteroscopy procedure in 2024. The biopsy results came back negative for CD138 but showed signs of endometrial hyperplasia. After this I was induced for egg retrieval twice back to back and then I took a break for a year. All this while I was never given any treatment for hyperplasia. Now this year that is 2026, I started my IVF journey again and my uterus had polyps. Since I am not a doctor, I do not understand why I was not given any treatment for hyperplasia. I only understood this when I did some study on my old report findings. I am now scared that what if it turned into cancer. My whole life would go for a toss for an ignorant doctor. What are you experience in such cases. What is the most worst that can happen to me. I will be doing a biopsy again but I want to know the reality what to expect.

Endometrial hyperplasia

I was undergoing IVF treatment which started in 2024 as part of my pre-IVF assessment. I was given a diagnostics hysteroscopy that revealed that I had hyperplasia without atypia in 2024. I don't remember that my doctor was concerned during that time and the only treatment that I was given was Crina 10 for 10 days for my spotting in leutal phase. Now I this year. I am due for an embryo transfer and again, my doctor was examining my uterus and she mentioned that I have polyps in my uterus and when I referred to my past report just to see that what it said in 2024 i found about the hyperplasia and when I did some googling, I understood that this is a serious condition that should have been taken care. I am due for another hysteroscopy but I am scared as this was ignored. Reports from 2024 biopsy attached
