I've had these lumps in my breasts for about 3 years now. I don't usually feel pain, but maybe once or twice a month it does hurt a bit. I'm really worried if this could be breast cancer. I'm thinking of getting it checked out. Should I see a gynecologist first, or should I go straight for a cancer screening? What do you recommend?
