It is on my left breast near my armpit. They have been very sore also. Could this be breast cancer?

I don't know. But if you check out www.hacres.com, you'll never have to worry about anything like that again.
Wish you well.

You should go to the doctor as soon as possible, and make sure he does the necessary tests to rule out cancer. Hopefully it is nothing, but you never know.
My mother had a pain in her chest in June 1984. The doctor said it was nothing and didn't order any tests. My mother found the lump herself 3 months later. She survived with her breast cancer for 20 years, but there is know way of knowing if that 3 month delay prevented a complete cure, and maybe she'd still be around today.

It may not be breast cancer, but yes it could be. You should see your doctor for a physical exam and a mammogram as soon as possible to make sure. If you have any trouble getting an appointment by Friday, look into whether there is a breast surgeon in your area that you could see more quickly. I wish you the best and hope it's benign and not cancer!

The nipple could be inverted, not really a problem until you try to breast feed.
About the cancer my mother used to say if it hurts it is not cancer. I used to get lumps in mine when I was still developing, and none of them were cancer.
Are your glands swollen by chance?
You could go to the doc just to be sure tho..
Good Luck
