Hi - Although this sounds like fibroids or fibrocystic breast disease, it's best to get it checked out. Understand that about 80% of the women who get breast cancer have no knnown risk factors, so lack of family history doesn't offer you much protection. Nonetheless, this doesn't sound like a breast cancer symptom... still, best to get it checked, OK?good luck - PJH
