Hi All. New here and hoping someone can see this and talk me off the ledge. I have been having pain in my ribs.

Hi all, long post to give context but the TLDR is — what to do about a large lump with high-risk/atypical findings (but not necessarily malignant) and positive-margins in one breast five years after early stage cancer in the other breast? Five years ago, I had a lumpectomy and radiation for stage 1 ER/PR-negative cancer in…
Since mid September I have been having sensitive nipples and my breasts seem to have fallen. I am 75 years old so fallen breasts are bound to happen. I can’t seem to get comfortable because of how my nipples are feeling. What I want to ask is are sensitive/tender nipples a symptom of breast cancer? I don’t have any…

I had the mass biopsied, and the doctors originally thought the mass was the same spot as the distortion, but the follow up mammogram…
