Elizabeth, it's impossible to say whether these lumps are cancer just from your description. Any breast lump might be. If these lumps have lasted longer than a menstrual cycle, then just a physical exam will probably not be enough to tell for sure. With a mammogram and ultrasound, cancer can often be ruled out, but as you know from your earlier cancer experience, sometimes a biopsy is necessary. This link to resources for financial help may be helpful for you. Most communities have programs to help fund mammograms and other tests for breast cancer. I hope you get good news about these lumps.
