Hemoglobin drops suddenly.  Then the doctor asks to report. It is better if you tell the problem. Report says that it is Leukopenia. It's very dangerous or not. What is the best way to recover from it.

My uncle has undergone liver resection in April 2022 first week. Last week he did Lft test, and found his alkaline phosphatase level is 317. Bilirubin total is 0.70 SGPT -49, SGOT -57 As per our surgeon this is normal. But he is facing body itching, and sometimes it is irresistible. He is having type 2 diabetes also. Please advice.

My cousin is suffering from rectum cancer since last one and half years. Her 1st surgery was done on 7th July 2021. In that surgery, doctors removed the entire large intestine and fixed the small intestine outside the body. Now the cancer tumor is regrowing and spreading to the abdomen and rectum and some other places too. And she vomits frequently from June onwards. Because of the vomits she's unable to take food. The doctors said her case is high risk and there are fewer chances for her to survive. If we are ready to take the risk doctors will arrange a second-time surgery. I need a second opinion for her present condition so that we can take a decision if it is fine to go ahead with the second surgery or if there is any other option. Please find attached reports.

Hi, I am Krishnambica Reddy and my mother is a cancer patient. She's suffering from rectum cancer since last one and half years. Her 1st surgery was done on 7th July 2021.

The doctors said my mother's case is high risk and there are fewer chances for her to survive. If we are ready to take the risk doctors will arrange a second-time surgery. I have attached her medical documents and need a second option for her present condition so that I can take a decision if it is fine to go ahead with the second surgery or if there is any other option. Thank you. With Regards, Krishnambika Reddy
