Please help to understand

The reports show a metabolically active mass in the right breast (BIRADS 5) with skin and nipple involvement, FDG-avid right axillary nodes, lung lesions, and L2 vertebra — all suggestive of metastasis. One non-FDG avid liver lesion is also seen. Biopsy has already been done — results expected in 4–5 days. Meanwhile, chemotherapy has been started by the treating doctor. Just wanted to check if this is the right approach or if any further urgent steps are needed.

Polycythemia Vera

In a routine test, back in January, I found out my HB was 17.2 and PCV was 51. Went to Haematologist and underwent EPO and MPN panel full, with one unit of phlebotomy. EPO was 6.3 and entire MPN panel was negative. After repeating CBC today, my HB is 16.5 and PCV is 56. I still occasionally smoke, one a day or once in two days. could this be Primary Polycythemia? I am very scared.
