Go see your doctor: It is impossible to make the diagnosis of cancer based on patient age and symptoms. While benign breast disease is more common, it is important that you get seen and examined by a physician. Further testing like mammogram, ultrasound and even MRI at this age may be necessary.

Non specific: All of the symptoms described are non specific for breast cancer. The lump under your arm is likely lymph node enlargement not related to cancer (especially if it went away) and mastodynia is most likely hormone related. Nonetheless, if there is a family history - your risk could be increased at a younger age. Discuss your fear with your physician and see if early diagnostic testing indicated.

Unsure: Pain is not a typical symptom of breast cancer. However you sure alert your friendly primary care physician as to your new symptoms.
