Question

My mom was diagnosed with colon cancer and had a laparoscopic low anterior resection surgery. The biopsy shows tumor deposits one in number but no lymph nodes involved out of 16 examined. The tumor is moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, pT3 pN1c. Since there's a tumor deposit but no lymph node involvement, does she still need chemo?

Question

I'm really worried about my wife. She's 23 and has been dealing with fibroadenoma for about 4 years now. There's one in her right breast that's around 3 cm, and it's causing her a lot of fear. We're really hoping to find a way to treat it without surgery. Any advice?

Question

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?

Question

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.
