I'm really confused about my Pet Scan and biopsy results. The Pet Scan mentioned something about a 'metabolic active soft tissue density lesion' with 'irregular margins,' suggesting it could be a primary neoplastic etiology. But my biopsy sounds different; it talks about 'tiny fibrocollagenous tissue' with 'mild chronic inflammatory infiltrate' and 'occasional submucosal glands,' but no signs of atypia or malignancy. Does this mean my report is normal, and I dont have cancer? Can what I have be treated with medication? I'm trying to understand what's going on, and if there's any reason to be worried.

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.

My wife was diagnosed with BIRADS 4A fibroadenoma, and the FNAC and ultrasound showed it's non-malignant. We're really hesitant about surgery can homeopathy or ayurveda help treat this condition? Looking for alternatives that might work.

For a confirmed, non-malignant BIRADS 4A fibroadenoma, while surgery is often recommended, there are other options, including watchful waiting and minimally invasive procedures. Homeopathy and Ayurveda can be used to manage symptoms, but they haven't been proven to cure fibroadenomas or replace standard medical treatments
