Hi. I had right breast pain 3 weeks back. Doctor gave me antibiotics and now the pain is not there. However, i have painful lumps on both my armpits. Is this related to breast cancer. I am not married.
Please let me know. I am really worried

Hi again,
First of all searching over the internet about you problem,could confuse you even more.
In my opinion,I don't think that you have breast cancer,but the only advise I can give you,is to see your doctor again because it could be that you need a different type of antibiotics that will give you better results.Another thought that comes to mind,is that the pain could also be caused by a pulled muscle in your chest that radiates in your shoulder and hand.
Please make that phone call to your doctor and ask him/her to order an ultrasound,in case you have a cyst or fibroadenoma ( both benign lumps) which could cause the pain you are describing.
As much I would like to tell you not to worry,it's very hard to know, over the internet, what this problem could be...as you can see,I can only guess,and guessing is never reassuring.Once you have peace of mind and know exactly what's going on,you'll be able to relax and plan your upcoming wedding with serenity.
Wishing you joy and happiness on your wedding day.I am sure you'll make a beautiful bride! :)
Take care..

Hi, thank you for your prompt response. But I have one more question. I am really sorry to bother you with multiple questions.

Yesterday  when I touch my right breast and nipple i could feel the pain and also pain on my right shoulder and hand. This happened last time as well and doc said the same thing that it could be an infection. As this thing is repeating again, is it something which i should really worry about.

Also the painful lump on my right armpit has gone now. Its in the left side. However there is no connection between right breast and left armpit. So I believe it could be because i use a bad deo. I recently changed my deo.

But this right breast and shoulder pain is really worrying me. when i searched in net i found all scary answers. I am only 23 and I am getting married in next 2 months. I dont want to get married if I have a cancer and I should tel him this well in advance so that he can find a better life. Please help

Hi,
Since your doctor has prescribed an antibiotic for your breast pain 3 weeks ago,I presume that it was because he/she thought that you had an infection.
Most often,lymph nodes can become enlarged if a person is fighting an inflammation or an infection, which may be true in your case considering the breast pain you had.  
After your body works through the infection, the swelling of lymph nodes should resolve,but it's hard to say how long this process would take,as the swelling can persist even after the infection is gone.
Other causes for swollen and painful lymph nodes could be the use of perfumes, deodorants and certain cosmetic procedures like hair removal from the armpit that may  cause an inflammation in the area.
I doubt that these painful lumps are an indication of breast cancer.But if things don't get any better in a week or two, and you notice that the lumps have enlarged, I would advise you to see your doctor again for evaluation.
Best wishes..
