Expert: - 8/4/2011


Question
My left breast has been hurting for about 3 months now. It is one big lump but it feels like a bunch of little lumps making up one big lump. It moves around a little and hurts alot. I dont know what it is and why I have it. I need to know if it could be cancer or if its just a cyst and do I need to get it checked out? I have stage 4 endometriosis and was also wondering if it has something to do with my hormones? Please write me back because I am a little worried and need to what I should do! Thank You.

Answer
Pain is rarely associated with breast cancer. However any breast lump SHOULD be checked! So have it done by a doctor and soonest! It may have to do with your hormones. Good luck!
