I've got this hard lump below my collarbone and above my breast that feels like bone and it's been there for over two years. It doesn't hurt or anything, so I never worried much about it. But recently I got this rash, and the dermatologist said it's pityriasis rosea. Theres also a swollen lymph node on my neck and I just noticed another hard, immovable, and painless lump below the first one. Should I be worried about these lumps?

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.

no its not cancer , its just inflammation

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.

Is cryogenic treatment a good option for breast cancer or would surgery be the better choice I'm really worried about making the right decision and want to understand which treatment might work best for my situation

Cryoablation is still experimental; surgery is the standard first-line treatment for most breast cancers.
