Polycythemia Vera
In a routine test, back in January, I found out my HB was 17.2 and PCV was 51.
Went to Haematologist and underwent EPO and MPN panel full, with one unit of phlebotomy.
EPO was 6.3 and entire MPN panel was negative.
After repeating CBC today, my HB is 16.5 and PCV is 56.
I still occasionally smoke, one a day or once in two days.
could this be Primary Polycythemia?
I am very scared.

Polyps not operated
I have been having 2-3 polyps in rectum since long but detected 7 months ago only.. they were biopsied and revealed to be hyperplastic.. size was perhaps 0.5 cm n total of 3.. my Dr was not at all concerned and told me that we will remove them whenever you want, but they don't carry any risk
Later on, I shifted to some other city and got busy with my life and never focused on this until I heard about a colleague getting diagnosed with bowel cancer, and I suddenly became scared about my situation
Please tell me, how should I proceed next? Do these polyps Turn cancerous easily?

Lump in breast, not sure
Im 20 female, no family history or breast cancer but I've always been scared of it, I keep looking for symptoms and it's gotten to a point where Im sure I might have breast cancer. Recently, I was lying down on my back, and I pressed my left breast and felt something hard. Im not sure if it is a lump or not because I cant find it anymore. Also, my breasts hurt sometimes, and if I pinch a mass, not just the skin but some part of the insides of the breast too, they hurt with a sharp pain. Otherwise, my breasts hurt if Im lying on one side, the other side will hurt. I just wanna know if I should be concerned or if it's normal. My bra size is 34D, in case the size matters in diagnosis too.
