Hi.
Although the details you have provided point to malignancy. It is important to wait for the biopsy results and properly stage the disease before starting any treatment. Breast cancer treatment in general and especially in this case involves multimodality treatment, that is, it requires more than one of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and hormone therapy depending on biopsy and further testing. And their sequence can depend on biopsy and ER, PR, Her2 testing. A few days of delay for reports will not drastically change.
To summarise,
Yes, it looks like cancer. Treatment should follow Proper diagnosis and Staging.
