Breast, nipple and arm pain.

Both my breasts Hurt all the time. My arm pits do and top of my arms. One nipple is half inverted. About two months ago I was sent to the Breast clinic and they examined me and said I was very lumpy so hard to tell. Most likely cysts. I said I was worried as mum has breast cancer and no one could find a lump with her and she had no symptoms but reached the age for a mammogram and even then no lump but a few calcium dots so they did a second scan and a biopsy to be sure. It they said it won't be cancer and if it was it would be a 2% chance. The bio come back saying cancer and then I formed invasive and Her2 positive they removed her breast and the mass was over 7cm. Yet it couldn't be seen or found. Now she is having a lot of chemo and very ill. She worries about me but I am told I am to young (38) so I shouldn't worry and they can't scan me to I am 40! I feel weak and tired and don't know what to do. I have three children and don't want to wait til I am 40 as it could be to late. The girl from girls aloud is 38 and fighting breast cancer but I guess they found a lump. I have lots of little ones.
