It could be other things. Is she still having menstruation? Sometimes as women get older their cycle changes and it could be from that. It could be a blocked duct. Has she checked for lumps or is she too scared. The only way to get a real answer is to go to a doctor but it could be many things.

She should go to the doctor and get a mammogram. While it probably isn't cancer, she won't know until she is tested. If she has cancer, then she can begin treatment much more quickly which may lead to a better outcome.
Go to the doctor! It's the only way to know for sure!

She HAS to go to the doctor I am sure she is in need of a mammogram. It could be a symtom of anything it could be a cyst, clogged duct, anything. Urge her to go, more and more women are being diagnosed with breast cancer, the earlier you get attention the better.
Good Luck :-)

It sounds more like mastitis. She should go to the doctor and have it checked out. The doctor will be able to allay any fears about cancer. I am assuming she is over 40. If so, she should be getting regular mammograms to test for cancer.
