A PET report showing infection or activity in the skeleton for breast cancer may indicate possible bone metastasis or inflammation. It means the cancer cells might have spread to the bones, and further evaluation by an oncologist is needed for proper treatment planning.

Breast pain and heaviness before periods are usually due to hormonal changes (premenstrual syndrome), not breast cancer. Back pain during menstruation is common from uterine contractions. Try heat therapy, light exercise, and consult a doctor if the pain is severe or persistent.

Breast cancer is diagnosed through a combination of clinical breast exam, imaging tests such as mammography or ultrasound, and biopsy, where a small sample of tissue is tested to confirm cancer. Imaging shows suspicious areas, and the biopsy provides the final diagnosis.

Postmenopausal bleeding with a uterine mass needs urgent evaluation as it could indicate fibroids, polyps, or even cancer. She should see a gynecologist immediately for an ultrasound, biopsy, and further tests to determine the cause and start appropriate treatment.

Breast cancer symptoms include a lump in the breast, nipple discharge, skin dimpling, or breast pain. Treatment depends on the stage and may involve surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or hormone therapy. Early detection greatly improves recovery chances.
