I ve been told that breast cancer is not painful. If I have a painful mass should I assume that it s fine?
Most breast cancers are not painful however there are always exceptions to the rule. If you have a mass never assume it is a benign cyst even if you have a history of breast cysts. Have your physician evaluate you. She/He may ask you to have a breast ultrasound and a possible mammogram first. At WDI we will try to make a same day appointment for a woman worried about a breast mass. Most often these masses prove to be benign.
