Hi Catluvr: It's good that you're paying attention to pain in your breast; you should always be aware of how your breasts feel, and notice any changes. That said, pain is usually NOT a sign of breast cancer. Unless your breast is also red, hot, swollen, and perhaps itchy, the pain is probably an indication of something else. If, as you said, it seems to be connected to your periods, then it could very well be hormonal. But, might as well go have it checked out - why live with pain when it's perhaps something that can be dealt with? Good luck -PJH
