Is pain associated with breast cancer?

hi I found a lump in my left breast yesterday and I’ve noticed a pain in my breast on and off for some time. Been to my Gp today and have been referred to the breast clinic. How quickly do you get an appointment and I’m sure breast pain isn’t a symptom of breast cancer but could be wrong? 

I really feel so scared it’s probably nothing but I have 2 young boys, and can’t help thinking what if it is cancer. 

  • Hi there ..

    Most lumps are painless , but occasionally there is some pain ... and every lump needs looking at .. my first four call backs from mamorgrams were all clear... and 9.out of 10 lumps are benign... so try not to panic .. I know it's easier said then done ... but the odds are on your side .. don't do the "what ifs" or Google symptoms they are always worse case sinarios...

    There's lots of us breast lasses on here... you only hear the sad ones on t.v etc .. but I had a grade three nearly two years ago .. and doing o.k .. many others on here too ..

    So you should get a two week refural .. that's the average ... fingers crossed  for a good result ..
