Hi Sarmi- Since both breasts are affected, this sounds like it might be a hormonal issue, or an allergic reaction of some sort - breast cancer almost never presents active symptoms in both breasts at once. However, this is definitely something you need to have looked at, diagnosed, and hopefully treated. If you don't trust your doctor to know what to do, I'd suggest asking him/her for a referral to a breast specialist, OK? Good luck - PJH
