I have had a sensitive area on my finger for a while, especially when something rubs against it. I am a hypochondriac and wanted to make sure this is nothing serious or dangerous. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a constant sweet, yucky taste in my mouth and the same awful smell in my nose. I have had an MRI brain scan with okay results, blood tests showing normal kidney and liver function, normal sugar and ketones levels, and a slightly high cholesterol level. I have had this condition for two months now. I am 69 years old, physically active, living on a farm, and have a history of breast cancer surgery in 2011 and a massive accident involving multiple breaks in 2013. I also have a slight sliding hiatus hernia with no acid reflux and take pariet at night. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

Dr. Love, I'm concerned that the surgeon didn't remove the second pocket of lymph nodes and that my lobular cancer was dividing too slowly for the chemo. Do you think radiation can effectively treat slower-dividing cancers like lobular, and will the AI treatments work to catch any missed cancer cells?

I'm experiencing a pulsating, pounding, or throbbing sensation in my ears that seems to be caused by pressure. It's reasonably regular in rhythm and has been occurring at irregular intervals, often associated with being too hot or dehydrated. Recently, it has been present almost constantly. What could be causing this and should I be concerned about potential heart-related issues?

Dr. Stan, my mom has had 1 Lucentis injection for AMD, and an eye scan revealed that the peripheral portion of the scarring is dissolving and the overall area of damage has shrunk. The inflammation has also reduced significantly. Given this improvement, do you think she needs only one more injection or does she need a longer-term treatment? Will the scar keep dissolving?
