My wifes been having this pain in her left breast, and were both getting a bit worried since it hasnt gone away. We saw a doctor, did some tests, and they said everything seemed fine, but the pains still there. Could someone help me understand what might be going on or what steps we should take next?

Although the doctor's tests didn't indicate any issues, it's essential to monitor your wife's breast pain and watch for any changes or additional symptoms, such as lumpiness, nipple discharge, or skin changes, and consider a follow-up appointment in a few weeks to reassess the situation, meanwhile, encourage your wife to perform regular breast self-exams and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

I'm really curious if there's a single test that can detect all types of cancer in the body. It would be amazing if something like that exists, but is it possible? How reliable would it be, and could it miss any forms of cancer?

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?

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.

My mom was diagnosed with hepatitis B in November 2016. She had a mastectomy in December 2016 and is now going through chemo FECx3 and DOCEx3, 6 cycles total, with her 3rd cycle coming up next week. The doctors suggested starting hepatitis B treatment alongside the surgery. What kind of treatment or meds would she need, and what's the prognosis looking like?
