Hi,

These are herbal anticancer food supplements. Their exact role or benefit is not documented.

You can talk to your doctor if your mother is sceptical about taking them.

Also inquire about the possible side effects.

Let us know if you have any doubts.

Regards.

My mother was prescribe by her doctor with aragalus zilongjin medicine which she needs to take 4 tabs a day for 6 months. By then, they will take ultrasound again if the the lump got big or malignant.

What is aragalus zinlongjin for?

Thanks

Hi,

Ultrasound waves are used to identify whether a lesion is solid or cystic by means of the echogenicity.

Normal breast tissue is iso-echoic and anything with a higher density would be hyperechoic and vice versa.

The report says 2 areas of hypoechoic shadows were found - of solid consistency.

A hypoechoic lesion needs to be investigated further for a confirmed diagnosis. A needle aspiration or a biopsy would be advised by your doctor depending upon clinical evaluation and other investigations.

Do let us know if you have any doubts.

Hope this helps.

Good luck.
