Hi - This could be another cyst. Or it could be some fibroadenomas, which are benign (non-cancerous) breast tumors. Breast cancer is almost always painless, so this doesn't sound like a breast cancer symptom. Please read our post on breast pain; I think it'll give you the information you need to decide whether/when you should see a doctor about this. Good luck, and I hope you feel better soon - PJH
