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

my mother has stage 3A breast cancer and is getting treatment at SGPGIMS but the doctors aren't clear about how many chemo cycles she'll need they mentioned maybe 10 cycles but does that mean 5 before surgery and 5 after or something else also they said it could go beyond 10 if her body responds well is there no standard number of cycles for different cancer stages and which hospital would be best for breast cancer treatment

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
