Q: Does invasive/infiltrating ductal carcinoma causes pain in the breast?

It's true, breast cancer is usually painless. However, you might also have cysts or fibroadenomas (benign tumors), which can be quite painful. Pain in your breast doesn't mean it's spread, so please don't worry about that. I'm sure that once you have surgery and get your pathology report you'll know a lot more, but in the meantime, go ahead and mention the pain to your doctor or surgeon; s/he might be able to explain what's its from. Good luck, and stay in touch here - we can help you through this. PJH
