Dear friend.

Thanks for sharing your concern.

Breast cancer can be very well detected through screening tests.

Do you have any familial history of breast cancer?

In my view it is best to get it examined through your physician,as your history suggests that you are feeling pain and swelling after accidental trauma,and it has responded well to heat application.

Then it could be just a traumatic injury too.

so its always better to rule out.

Hope it helps.

Thanks.

Take care.
