And she also has a lump in right one around nipple area but it's not cancerous as it has been now 4 years of having it n it looks like benign.now pain around this area is a sign of breast cancer?

breast is a fibro fatty tissue and dull pain is a common thing. please remember that in early stages cancer doesnt cause pain, so remove the cancer thing from her mind. you can try taking cap. primrose oil, thats a good tablet with micronutrients for breast health

Hi normally breast cancer is uncommon in young patients.
Still better to get a breast examination done with your gynec.
The doctor should be able to treat the same.
