My daughter is 52 and was recently diagnosed with early-stage invasive lobular carcinoma in her right breast. The biopsy report indicates a Nottingham grade 1, with 10% of cells showing intercellular cytoplasmic vacuoles, strong AE1/AE3 cytokeratin positivity, aberrant E-cadherin expression, positive estrogen receptors, and negative progesterone receptors. No lymphovascular invasion is seen, and HER2 testing is pending. She is considering a double mastectomy with breast plastic reconstruction and is scared of chemotherapy. Can radiation be an alternative, and is there a high chance of cancer recurrence due to her hormone receptor status?

I had a reaction to aspirin many years ago, causing my lips to swell. I am currently taking Meloxicam for back pain. Can I take Naproxen Sodium without worrying about swollen lips? Additionally, I have Parkinson's disease diagnosed 6 years ago, which is stable. My back pain is caused by an L5 bulge that affects my right buttock, and it worsens when standing at the kitchen sink or walking for long periods.
