Suggest Treatment For Benign Tumour
Question: I have a trunk cyst mass (benign tumors) that keep getting bigger & bigger. I had surgery in March to remove them and the surgeon only took two out. What can I do? YYYY@YYYY
Brief Answer:
Need assessment and management accordingly.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Trunk cyst masses recently removed and recurred with in nine months and increasing in size daily needs to be biopsied and proved for its benign nature like old times. Once proven benign you can either left them alone and live with it if the symptoms do not bother you. Otherwise getting them excised under local anesthesia or minimal anesthetics effect as age of 82 is not an ideal age for these lumps to get rid of surgically.
What you can do is talk to your surgeon and let them decide what is best for you. I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
