Has anyone ever heard of a Large lump ontop of your rib that's right below your left breast? It's very large and very distinctive. Not under or in my breast but right below it ontop of the rib below the breast. Help!!

I've had a lump on my rib, under my left breast for about 6-7 years (at least).  My doctor originally told me it was a "fatty tumor" and no need for surgery (unless it got worse).  It is not only bothering me more, but the pain is also in my back (exact spot as the front) and my skin is extremely tender and sometimes painful to touch.  I have a doctors appointment Friday, but in the meantime, has anyone experienced these symptoms?
Thank you and God Bless!
