Scared out of my mind

I am 12 weeks pregnant. I have had problems with the right side of my chest and breast area. I had a mamogram (mammogram)/normal I had x-ray after x-ray-normal. I figured out that I was pregnant due to my breast tenderness but I continue to feel discomfort. I have pain above my right breat, under my right breast, on the side of my right breast and when pressure is mashed under my arm and it's now starting to cause pain going to the left breast. I have heavy breast and have been told to just purchase a bigger bra. I am so worried about cancer in my muscles or somewhere the doctors are not looking. This problem came about before my pregnancy  and the doctors won't check me out. I'm worried about cancer so bad!!! I had a coworker have cancer in her muscle and the doctors never found it and she died. Please help what should I do?

Sounds like something I used to experience. You may just have fibrocystic breasts. Sometimes I would get shooting pains up to my armpit. Sometimes it would be one breast and sometimes another. Tenderness is normal. Now that you are pregnant it can either one, go away or two get more consisitant due to hormonal fluctutions. Stay away from caffiene as it can also make them hurt more. It really doesn't sound like anything bad. You have had testing done and it didn't show concern for them to run further testing. My mom just died from lung cancer so I know your fears all too well. Yep, it happens. Don't stress yourself out too much. Think about this new life growing inside you right now and look foward to that. If we live in fear on a daily basis, eventually that fear will take over. Thinking of you! Congrats on the baby.
