I have a pancreatic tumour,can the tumour alone be removed or the whole pancreas has to be removed?
Hello Doctor,
I have a pancreatic tumour, diagnosed as low grade malignant tumour of the size of 1.2cm in the pancreas. Three months ago it was 1.0 cm in size. It is not a cyst. CT contrast shows a solid mass. The PET scan has been advised when my pancreas is healed, as it is inflamed now.
I have a question to the surgery of such a tumour, if necessary. Can the tumour alone be removed or the whole pancreas has to be removed? In general I would like your opinion about such a procedure.
Regards.

I got internal hemorrhoids and now bleeding on passing stools. Please help.
Hi doctor,
I am in a situation that I cannot go to any hospital for the next three weeks. That is why I am seeking help from online. I am a 27 year old female and I got internal hemorrhoids and a small grape-like clump on my bum which I got long, long ago. A month ago I got constipation and this led to new fissures and was bleeding while passing stools. And there was too much pain while passing stools. Now things have become worse that even when the stool is softer I am feeling pain while passing stools. And even while urinating blood drops from my anus. There is continuous mild to moderate pain in my inner walls of the rectum. Please do help. Please doctor.

I started to have symptoms of jaundice, diarrhea and fatigue after cannabis smoking. What to do?
Hi doctor,
I am a male with normal weight. I do not drink alcohol but I have a habit of cannabis smoking. It did it for a couple of years with short intermittent pauses for two to three weeks. I started to have symptoms of jaundice, diarrhea, and fatigue at the end of the month. I do not had any other previous symptoms on that month. I do not have any other diseases. My transaminase was normal and it was checked during the routine blood work. I have attached the reports. I did an abdominal CT with contrast and the result was normal. Plasmapheresis was done and a liver function test was also done. I had an AST of 800, ALT of 450, and total bilirubin was 12 mg/dL. After three days, I had an AST of 1010, an ALT of 505, and had total bilirubin of 14 mg/dL. During this period, I had a weight loss of 10 to 15 kilograms and my appetite was normal. I want to know my differential diagnosis and prognosis. Please suggest.
