I found a few hypoechoic lesions in both my breasts one 15mm in the upper outer right, two more in the subareolar region, and a couple in the left breast's lower quadrants. There are also some small simple cysts in the upper quadrants. The report says the rest looks normal, but I'm worried do I need surgery or can medicines help What are the risks if I go for surgery

Hypoechoic lesions in the breast may or may not require surgery. If they‚Äôre benign, monitoring them with regular follow-ups is often sufficient. Surgery is typically considered if there‚Äôs any suspicion of malignancy or significant changes.

Question

My mom just had an excision biopsy where they removed a lump, and the report says it's invasive duct carcinoma with an extensive in situ duct carcinoma component. They mentioned the resection margins are clear and the closest margin is 5mm from the tumor. They suggested clinicoradiological and surgical correlation. Can you explain what stage her cancer is at and how serious this is? I'm really worried about the treatment how safe are radiation and chemo given her age, and what side effects should we expect? Is it okay to combine Ayurvedic medicine with her treatment? What are the chances of a full recovery at this stage, and what's the usual process from here?
