Hi Heather,
Any lump found in the breast should always be examined by a Doctor.Breast cancer is almost never associated with pain and it could be something not alarming at all,like a cyst or a fibroadenoma,but a test of some sort has to be done,in order to find out what it is exactly.
If you have no insurance, talk to the doctor to see if there is some way you can be treated and pay your bill on time.
You could also call Susan G. Komen for the Cure.For information call: 1-877 GO KOMEN .
Or the American Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345 to see if and where there may be assistance available in your area.
