I'm feeling anxious about a hard lump I've noticed in the upper left area of my chest, close to my left breast. It feels almost like a bone or something solid just beneath the skin. Whenever I touch it, I'm reminded of how hard it is, and it's got me pretty worried. Could it be something serious? What might be causing this?

Surgeon opinion is advised to the patient. USG of the lump,FNAC and microscopy for mitotic cells , biopsy and complete blood count ,esr and C-reactive protein is advised to the patient.

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?
The pathology report indicates that your mom has breast cancer, specifically invasive ductal carcinoma with an extensive in situ ductal carcinoma component. The "clear margins" suggest that the surgery successfully removed all visible cancer cells, with the closest margin being 5mm away. This stage of breast cancer is generally considered early, with a good prognosis, particularly with clear margins and a good response to treatment.
