Answer
At your age breast cancer is extremely rare. Your symptoms aso fit the diagnosis of a fibroadenomatosis-cystic breast condition (not dangerous) much better than any cancerous condition. Breast cancers are normally not associated with pain in early stages. If your dr. can not find anything suspicious you should be able to relax!
