A family member of mine was just recently diagnosed with breast cancer so I can empathize with you and understand your reason for worry. A good site you can check out is: http://www.breastcancer.org
My family member's breast cancer is also in the right breast. She had to have an ultrasound done as well as an MRI of both breasts to check the other one to make sure nothing was there as well. They also biopsied the area to confirm the cancer and is going to have to have surgery to treat the problem further.
I don't know which country you are in but here's another good site that you can check that may have some info that can be of help: http://www.cancer.org and also http://www.y-me.org
I wish you and your relative/friend all the best as you go thru this journey. Please feel free to e-mail or IM me off board any time.

It may not neccessarily be cancer.
Pain in the breast and lumps can be many different things.
The most common is a fluid filled cyst. Which can be drained and releave symptoms of pain.
They are extremely common and are due to hormones.
They are asking for more information through the tests to try and accertain what is going on. Cancer would show changes in blood tests.
The only other way to be certain is by doing a needle biopsy. This will confirm either a positive or negetive result for cancer.
I have been in your situation and it is extremely scary and stressful. It's hard not to worry. But medicine is so great now and if it is cancer it sounds as if it has been caught early which is a good thing as treatment will begin straight away increasing the chances of success.
