Pain on right side of boob - very worried, please help!
Hi,
back in 2019 I had breast pain and a lump and after an ultrasound was diagnosed with fibroadenoma. This gave me peace of mind.
In the last 4 month, I started getting pain again but the lump seemed to have disappeared after self examination but I called for an appointment just in case. I had a breast examination and the lady said she could still feel a small ill defined lump on my upper quadrant.
She put me through as a routine check which means I have to wait 3 months 
The pain comes and goes and I have noticed that it's mainly the week before my period that I get this pulling/tugging pain. I also get the pain after a breast self examination in that part only as when I lay on that side too long and now I remember after my examination with the doctor, it was sooo painful as she was pressing down quite hard.
Im going crazy having to wait 3 months!! Does cancer pain come and go? any info/experience would be amazing please!!

I never had any kind of pain. It sounds like your doctor thinks it's a hormonal thing related to your periods.

I'd recommend checking out this page about breast pain: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/breast-pain/symptoms-causes/syc-20350423
In general, cancer pain does not come and go. It's relatively constant and gets worse over time. I had pain, but I also had multiple other symptoms that indicated cancer.
