I can appreciate your concern, since your mother had breast cancer.

If I were you, I would get a second opinion. Have you had a recent mammogram? Did your physician order a MRI or ultrasound of your breasts? If not, I think these are diagnostic tests that could help identify the cause of the swelling and pain as well as detect any abnormalities or masses.

Best wishes,

Maryann
