I'm a bit worried because I've had a pea-sized lump in my left armpit for about 6 weeks now. It's not painful or anything, but it hasn't gone away on its own. Could this be some kind of infection or something else? What should I do?

While many lumps under the armpit are harmless and related to lymph nodes or benign growths like cysts or lipomas, it's always best to get it checked by a doctor, especially if it's persistent. Your doctor will be able to provide a diagnosis based on your medical history, physical examination, and possibly imaging tests.

I had a breast MRI and biopsy that showed stage 2 cancer, but the PET scan came back clear does this mean the cancer hasn't spread? I'm considering a full mastectomy but worried about the risks and long-term impact. What would be the safest treatment option to completely cure this with minimal life risk?

Stage 2 breast cancer with clear PET suggests no distant spread; full mastectomy with lymph node check plus chemo/radiation based on reports offers best chance of cure.
