My mother is 59 years old. One and a half year ago she was diagnosed that she has "Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma grade III" in her right breast. Her treatment (Surgery, Chemotherapy, Radiation) was completed in August 2015. Before surgery Doctors had some doubts that there may be another tumour on the thyroid gland and they suggested for "Right Supraclavicular Lymph Node Biopsy". Reports stated that "Granulomatous Lymphadenitis without Necrosis. No meatasis identified. Stain for AFB is negative." And the Doctors said that everything is fine, there is nothing to worry about.

Recently when she went for follow up Doctors again suggested for "Right Supraclavicular Lymph Node Biopsy" because there was some swelling and now the report arrived and it states that "Caseating Granulomatous Lymphadenitis Compatible with Tuberculosis". As far as I understand it is TB. We haven't consulted the doctor yet because we belong to very poor family; the earlier treatment was funded by government. I have no. of queries.

1. What the report says?
2. Explain the whole situation (about the earlier report and the latest report).
3. Is there any relation between this disease and the Cancer?
4. Suggest treatment
5. Estimated Cost that may occur on the treatment.
6. What are the causes behind this kind of TB?
7. What precautions should we take?
8. Is this a contagious disease, that can be transmitted to others?
9. Would it be fully cured only by medicine?
10. How much time it will take to get cured?
