see doctor first, although no one can know for sure unless you see a doctor, it probably is not cancer. pain is not usually the first symptom of cancer. could be a cyst, fibrocystic breast disease or an infection. the first two are benign. the last is treatable, but you need to see a doctor. it won't go away because you refuse to see one, and it won't be worse because you do.

Sharp pain..what else are you waiting for.hurry and go to your doctor! Older people often think:." what comes, will go".I don't know how old you are..please go. Good luck.

Go check it out with a doctor. It is most likely nothing to worry about, but just make sure.

I advise you see a doctor. The lump you are talking about sounds like somehting that shouln't be there. This shouldn't be happining. Try and get an apooinment as soon as possible. Hope you feel better soon hun.
