Brief Answer:
Consult an Onco-Surgeon.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
Since the FNAC report specifically shows Malignant Aspirate, this needs to be confirmed by Excision biopsy as discussed in our previous discussions.
Please consult an Onco-Surgeon and get operated to get a definite diagnosis, its responsiveness to the hormonal manipulation later on.
Also to get the clinical evaluation and further investigations like ultrasonography of the abdomen, X-ray chest, CT scans wherever necessary.
Your Onco-Surgeon will advise you the further steps to be taken depending upon the final diagnosis and staging.

I hope this answers your query.
