Hi, my fingers appear clubbed. My LFTs, chest X-ray, and ECHO show nothing wrong. What could it be? I've had this concern for 6 years, and it has gotten worse. I'm a 40-year-old smoker and drinker, taking 10 mg of X plended for cholesterol. I had heart surgery for a hole in the heart when I was 4, Hep A with complications, and an INR of 2.4 but fully recovered in 2016.

Is Hodgkin’s lymphoma really treatable? I'm worried because I have pain in my traps area on the right side, which worsens with alcohol consumption and certain activities. My labs are perfect, and my doctor couldn't feel any swelling. Could this be lymphoma, or is it something else?

I am a 30-year-old female with a severe sore throat, fever, and body aches. I tested negative for Strep throat and Covid. My doctor believes it's likely the flu but didn't prescribe any medications. Why does my throat hurt so much, and what can I do to alleviate the pain?

My aunt was taken to a small town hospital in PEI Canada where they hooked her to morphine, stated she had cancer, and gave her two weeks to live. She has not seen an oncologist. What should I do to manage her pain and ensure she gets proper care, possibly by transferring her to a larger hospital for an oncologist's evaluation?
