Neen, it's good you're having a biopsy, with your family history. The burning sensation might or might not be connected with this lump; a rare form of breast cancer, inflammatory breast cancer, can sometimes start with symptoms that mimic a breast infection: pain, heat, redness, swelling. However, it doesn't usually involve a lump. So I guess there's really no use speculating at this point. Abut 85% of breast lumps biopsied turn out to be negative, so the stats are on your side. Hope everything turns out well for you - best of luck. PJH
