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'm a bit concerned about the size of the lymph node in my axilla. My breast ultrasound report mentioned that there's "no lymphadenopathy seen," but I'm wondering if the 259 mm measurement is considered normal. Could you help me understand what this means?
