I have pain and extreme soreness in both breasts. It is not before my period, my bras fit fine. For three weeks before the pain started I had extreme chest pain that my doctor diagnosed as a virus.

Jennifer, sounds like this pain has been going on for awhile. I'd say it's time for you to see a breast specialist - you can get a referral from your regular doctor. While this doesn't sound cancer-related – breast cancer hardly ever presents with symptoms in both breasts, and it's usually a lump, not pain – it's worth it to find out what's going on, and get some relef - it sounds very uncomfortable! Good luck - PJH
