Bone scan breast soft tissue activity

I got the radiology report from the nuclear bone scan I had yesterday. Thankfully, no bone metastasis! But there was a note saying "there is nonspecific soft tissue activity seen in the right breast". When I look at the scan (they gave me a CD with the images) I can see what they're referring to. I haven't had much luck figuring out what it could be besides new cancer.

I had a breast MRI before my left mastectomy in August, and it noted "foci" in the right breast, but nobody was concerned. Now this bone scan is showing something. I've had pain in that breast for many months--in fact that pain and what I thought was just a firm area on my left breast is what led to my left cancer diagnosis. Nothing showed on the right on mammogram.

I guess I'm wondering if anyone else got breast soft tissue results from a bone scan and if so what it turned out to be. Or if anyone knows of benign things it could be (calcium deposits? inflammation? I have no idea). I will be seeing my oncologist, but I'd still like to know of others' experiences.
