I have had breast cancer in each breast and on neither occasion did I experience any pain!. Pain is not usually a sign of breast cancer; it is usually Mastitis!. However, if you are really worried go to your G!.P!. On the first instance of cancer I felt a really hard area in my breast and on the second it was picked up on a mammogram!. You are not at the most likely age for getting breast cancer but it is certainly not impossible!. No-one that I know of in my family had had it before me!. Please don't let your worries spoil your life!. I have to get on with my life and choose not to think about it very often!. If you would feel better if you have it checked out, then do so but them let the worry go and enjoy your life!. Good luck from me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You sould request a mammogram from your doctor!.
Cancer will not necessarily show up on x-ray, nor will it show up consistently on blood tests!.
You may also want to be tested for the BRCA gene, which makes women more prone to breast cancer!. Your doctor will be interested in your mom, grandmothers, aunts breast cancer history, so get that before you go!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Breast cancer is usually silent!. Meaning, there is no pain involved!. If you are concerned, see your doctor and have tests like a Mammogram taken!. A doctor can also show you how to do self exams!. Chest xray is not geared to detect breast cancer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
