Answer
If you have had these problem for 3 years it is most unlikely that what you have is cancer. Furthermore, this started at the age of 18 when your risk of a breast cancer was microscopical. And you have the same problem in both breasts. To have that in both breasts at such a young age makes it EXTREMELY unlikely that this is a cancer. So most probably you do NOT have a cancer in your breasts!
