Dear sweetpea1:  Most breast cancers present as a lump that either shows on a mammogram or can be felt by feeling the breast.  Occassionally, breast pain can occur.  However, breast pain can also occur for a variety of other reasons.  You should consider seeing a breast specialist who can evaluate the pain and make recommendations as to its causes and possible interventions.
