***HELP NEEDED DESPERATELY*** My precious daughter was unfortunately diagnosed with Multiple Hepatic Adenomas in November 2021. She has currently got 12 of these tumours in her liver.

I have an enlarged prostate and I am trying to determine if I should be taking medicines or have a procedure such as TURP.
