Lipomas are soft, painless lumps made of fat that form under the skin. They often appear for no clear reason, but can sometimes run in families. They are generally harmless and very rarely become cancerous. Persistent tiredness and low energy can have many reasons, including poor sleep, stress, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid problems, anaemia, or other underlying medical conditions. It is best to consult a doctor to determine the exact cause of your symptoms.

My father and grandmother both had malignant mesothelioma. I am concerned about whether this cancer is hereditary and if there is a risk that I might develop it in the future. Are there any preventive measures I can take to reduce my risk? Also, are there any tests or screenings available to monitor for early signs of this cancer?

Malignant mesothelioma is most often caused by asbestos exposure and is rarely inherited through families. Your risk is low unless you have been significantly exposed to asbestos. To reduce your risk, avoid contact with asbestos, follow workplace safety rules, and have regular medical check-ups. There is no standard screening test, but if you have a history of asbestos exposure, your doctor may recommend imaging or lung function tests. Early detection is difficult, so minimising exposure is the most effective way to protect yourself.
