A member asked:
I have a hot lump in breast that is painful. lump was there 2yrs ago after biopsy but has seemed to get larger, very warm, and painful?

This sounds like an infection that probably needs antibiotic treatment, and maybe incision and drainage if it's an abscess. Cancer sometimes can cause a painful lump, although unlikely. See a doctor ASAP -- do it immediately (even though it's a weekend) if the lump is especially painful, enlarging rapidly, or if you have fever. Good luck.
