Hi, I have breast and underarm pain, and since my mom had breast cancer I am really concerned.

Hi, if pain is the only symptom and you can’t notice any physical changes you probably have noting to worry about. Still, if your mother had breast cancer it means that you are also susceptible to developing it. Other symptoms such as: change in the breast size, different shapes. A lump (mass), swelling or thickening within the breast is a sign for concern. But until you are not sure it is a malignant change, the condition is not serious. These lumps are not always painful, and they increase or decrease over time.
