well your symptoms certainly warrant a checkup. what you're describing could be something as benign (non-life threatening) as a cyst or something more serious. the fact you've had pain and swelling in the area plus a fever could point more to an infectious process than to something like cancer but only a physical examination by a medical professional can say for sure. and either way this lump seems to need treatment. i'd suggest you make an appointment with your primary health care provider as soon as possible to get this lump looked at. wishing you all the best!
i have a lump on my chest lots of pain and i'm tired all the time. i have a family history of cancer should i worry? . i'm 35 years old female with a strong family history of cancer. about 6 months ago i found a small lump on my chest but didn't think anything of it. about a month ago it started getting a little bigger and my breast started to swell. than i started having a lot of pain in that area so much so sometimes it hurts to use my arm. i have been tired all the time and have no energy. i have also been running a small fever off and on. should i be worried?
