Hi

Thanks for writing.

Lump and retracted nipple in the opposite breast may suggest a new cancer, but benign disease cannot be ruled out entirely. You should immediately get a mammogram and biopsy. If it is malignant then further staging as appropriate will be needed.

Women who have had one breast cancer are at a higher risk for another one as compared to the general population. But the prognosis will be like any cancer of the same stage in an woman who had never had cancer. I mean to say that your previous cancer will not affect the treatment and results of this one.

I am sure it is an early disease and you will get cured from it.
