Hydrogen peroxide can be used only under the supervision of a professional only.
The symptom of bleeding gums warrants referral to a periodontist or an appropriately qualified dental surgeon.

The thick mucosal folds in the stomach as noted in the endoscopy report could indicate inflammation or a reaction to chemotherapy. It's important for your father to continue his follow-up with me so that I can provide a detailed interpretation and guide further treatment.

However, given the fluctuating size of the growth, I recommend visiting a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis. It's essential to rule out any serious conditions.

Your father had already undergone a surgery for tongue cancer. But even after surgery lymph nodes have come positive in the recent pet scan. So the tumour has metastasis in the lymph nodes which are showing up now. There is no definitive thing as to which will work surgery or chemo.

My dad is dealing with prostate cancer and metastatic i.e. Spread to bones. He is heart and diabetic patient as well. He had undergone surgery to remove testicles almost year back. Psa test shown low reading - 0.140 after surgery but start increasing gradually since then. Now psa stands at 18 and just had 2nd pet scan. Doctor compared both pet scans (6 months gap) before and after surgery and did not alarm anything new. No bone pain as such currently. Based on doctor prescription he stated zoledronic acid injection on monthly basis. 2 injections so far. He currently takes bicalutamide (50 mg) along with other calcium and vitamin d supplement here are the 2 major issues I need help1. After zoledronic acid injection. He got light fever for a week and nausea. His psa score was very low after surgery but gradually increasing in recent months now 18. He is taking bicalutamide (50 mg) (1 tablet daily) since november 2022. What are treatment options to treat the rising psa. I can share the pet scan and other reports. I am looking for a senior doctor opinion and follow up appointment. No homeopathic doctors please.

Cancer staging needs to do first. Different treatments / approaches are available for different stages. Psa will stop increasing only if we are able to treat the cancer or stop the cancer growth. Zoledronic acid & bicalutamide have limited role. Pet scans. Other reports & most imp patient s clinical condition will decide further treatment.

Sometimes it goes away by itself. However you should have balanced diet. Take ample green leafy vegetables and fruits, so that there is no deficiency of vitamins and minerals.
