Hi...Can understand your concern.. As per your query about lump near your arm pit and breast bone which is hard and painful.....Every lump in breast or near by cannot be said cancerous or malignant but you have a family history of cancer so you should better go for its investigation like mammography and biopsy of lump.Have a watch if there is any discharge ,change in colour,size of lump,whether it is movable or immovable etc.There can be other possibilities like sebaceous cyst,lipoma,lymph node enlargement etc.Do not worry and consult a surgeon for its proper diagnosis and treatment.I hope the information helps you.Take care.
