Explaining the situation

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am Dr Mittal. I
have read your message.
I think I can help you.
The symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of a possible metastases, where a small part of prior symptom remains back and spread out to other areas. Of course I have known cases where the same person developed 5 different tumors at different times.
We will have to see the biopsy reports. If they are, all 3, of the same type then it may be a metastatic thing. Otherwise, it may be a genetic thing leading to repeated lesion.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information contained in this message will be able to help you find the best solution for your problem. Best of luck. Dr Mittal.
