I'm really worried about this painful thing that hasn't gone away in a week. Is there any chance it could be cancer? What should I do?

I understand your concern, and Im here to help. Painful lumps lasting over a week are usually not cancer, but they could be an infection, cyst, or another condition needing attention. Please see a doctor promptly for an examination and proper treatment.
