Yep, I've got fibrocystic disease, too, and have had an actual lump removed that was different than the cystic disease. My doctor basically said if it is soft and hurts, it's probably a cyst and cut back or eliminate the caffine. A lump that is cancer usually does not cause pain when it's small.

It's always better to be safe than sorry, so talk to your doctor anytime you have a concern. Never feel bad about asking questions. You have to communicate to get the best healthcare and push them to take you seriously!!

Hope this gets better soon. It can be painful & worrisome.
