Could be spread,,: This could be breast cancer that has locally spread to the adjacent ribs and chest wall. It would be wise to get a check-up and imaging studies like x-rays and/or ct scans to rule this out. Best of luck.

Possible: It is important for her to go back to her breast cancer doctors for an examination and other studies. Without having all of the information, it will be difficult for us to give a solid answer. Good luck.
