I need help about breast cancer..?

[Heather M]

My mom has a lump in her left breast but her lymph nodes are swollen and painful in her right breast. When i look up this on the internet it only says the lymph node is supposed to be swollen in the sae breast as the lump/cancer. She is supposed to have a biopsy in 2 weeks. She has a lump the size of a golf ball but the lump is not painful at all. Is this normal?Does the cancer actulley hurt or not? What else can the lup be? I need help and support!

cancer lumps in the breast don't always hurt, but mine did. I wish your mother well and a speedy diagnosis. The waiting for this test and that test really is agonizing.

the biopsy will tell what is ...maybe a cyst , a biopsy will tell , breast cancer has no pain ,,, good luck

Cancer can hurt or it can not hurt. Try to move the appointment up to an earlier date so that you know exactly what you are dealing with. Was an ultrasound done to show if the lump is solid/not?
