Hi - Considering the way you describe your pain, I'm totally surprised your doctor would say it might be a cancer symptom. In general, pain isn't a breast cancer symptom. And if it is, it doesn't come and go in synch with your period. And your mammogram is clear. Everything seems to be pointing to some other issue. I'd assume this is hormonal. Perhaps your PCP would help you with it? - PJH
