    The best thing would be for you to seek medical attention from your primary care physician. If you have not had a mammogram, you should get one. A fine needle biopsy would also be recommended as well as other blood work.

    Do you have cancer? As a breast cancer survivor myself I cannot answer that question. I was only 32 when I was diagnosed. So get on the horn and call your doctor. Be your own advocate and make sure you get the appropriate testing done. Don't take NO for an answer.

    There is no magic interent way to check your medical condition.

    You find the signs that require you to go to your doctor. This may not be, and could easily be something else, but again it could be, only a complete exam will tell you for sure
