Help please! is breast cancer painful?

Sometimes: Breast cancer is usually diagnosed at the time of a screening mammogram before it has reached a size detectable by palpation; when that small, it is rarely painful. Once the cancer has grown to the point where it can be palpated, it still may not be painful, depending on its location in the breast and how rapidly it's growing.

Usually not, but...: Most breast cancers are not painful, with some exceptions. A rare type of breast cancer can be very painful. This is called inflammatory breast cancer (ibc). Many doctors aren't aware of ibc, so it's important you know about it! if you develop severe pain, redness, swelling, bruising, or dimpling in your breast or armpit area, see a doctor immediately! and ask "could this be ibc?".

Maybe: In general.. No.. Breast cancer is typically a painless palpable lump or it's a mammographical painless finding. Inflammatory breast cancer is an aggressive variant that can be painful as it involves the skin. Advanced cancer that has grown into the skin or chest wall can also be painful.
