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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

I noticed some lumps in my chest and I'm a bit worried. Can homeopathy help with this or would I need to consider surgery?
Some lumps like fat necrosis and sclerosing adenosis are usually surgically removed. Because nodular fasciitis is difficult to differentiate from cancer, these lumps should also be removed. Most fibroadenomas don't require treatment. Cancerous lumps are usually removed with surgery.
