Breast cancer?

561>before you get diagnosed with breast cancer, does your breast or under your arm hurt? Does anyone know? Thanks for any explanation you can give..
Reply:You normally have a lump that does not hurt. That's why it's so important to do self-exams every month. Very rarely does breast cancer hurt like that. You could have an infected sweat gland or infected milk duct. Or a cyst that may need the fluid removed from it. Very common and very easily treated. No matter what, you need to see your doctor.
Reply:Sometimes, but those symptoms can mean a bunch of things. That is why doctors need diagnostics like mammograms and MRIs to help them figure out what is wrong.
