FDG avid few bilateral hilar, subcarinal, paratracheal, prevascular nodes (largest measures 1.8x0.9 cm;

My mother was diagnosed upfront as metastatic breast cancer on Nov 2023. At that time it was ER PR positive Her2 negative so first treatment was taxol chemo 6 cycle and then tumor reduction and given palbociclib tablet with letrozole for an year and half hr then further scan showed increased. So again biopsy done and it showed tnbc and also ngs panel done and it says pic3 mutation and now completed 6 cycles of carbo and docetaxol chemo and waiting fof pet scan now but doctor sayinf next treatment will be Alpelisib and Fulvesterant injection. But this alpelisib is too costly here in india and also not sure whether insurance is gonna cover it. Any advise? Attached ngs report
Good evening Doctor.
I had intramucosal adenocarcinoma of the rectum about 9 years ago, arising from a tubulovillous adenoma (2 × 2 cm), moderately differentiated, with no invasion beyond the muscularis mucosa. Only polypectomy was done, and no further treatment was required. The report showed MSI negative / MMR proficient.
At that time MRI pelvis and CT scan were normal, and post-polypectomy site biopsy showed no dysplasia or malignancy.
Follow-up done regularly: • Colonoscopy – about 10 times, all normal (last on 12 November 2025)
• USG whole abdomen – 10 times, all normal
• Blood tests – about 6 times, normal
• Chest X-ray (PA) – 4 times, normal
Kindly advise the appropriate interval for future surveillance colonoscopy. Also, if a new polyp appears in future, would it necessarily be malignant in my case, or usually benign?
. Kindly send your advice by SMS when convenient. Thank you.
