First get the Biopsy / FNA to prove this cancer and not anything else. Staging will be done by your oncologist once he re-examines your MIL, carefully examines her armpit and if need be organise few imaging studies like chest x-ray and Ultrasound imaging to rule out spread of the cancer.

I very much agree with Dr. Rohit Malde. I can understand the anxiety but I request you to understand that such questions cannot be answered without examining the patient and detail and understanding the whole situation. So I suggest you visit your doctor and sort out at the earliest. I would suggest you to preferably meet a surgical Oncologist in your area if not available, meet a general Surgeon.

Hi Asha Rani - as Doctor informed please try to meet ONCOLOGIST only. As going to General Surgeon will not solve the problem. My sister had showed to General Surgeon initially for which we had to operate her 3 times. Staging will be considered after she undergoes the tests only
