Hi there.

Given your background of cancer, it is best to treat these new occurrences as something potentially malignant until proven otherwise.

It is best that this be sampled through a fine needle or an excision biopsy. A more sophisticated imaging study such as an MRI may also be needed to evaluate the breasts and soft tissues further.

Regards and God bless.
