I had it checked a couple of years ago by a surgeon who said it was glanular tissue. Here it is years later and the pain persists. I worry because two of my mothers sisters have had breast cancer. Is there something to worry about?

Hi - Pain isn't generally a sign of breast cancer, especially since you've had it for years. If it was cancer, it would have developed into something else by now. I'd get a second opinion from another doctor, though; why live with pain if you don't need to? Maybe someone else can find out what it is and treat it. Good luck - PJH
