Hello ,
Breast cancer may not cause pain in the breast . You said that you had a lump removed from the armpit , but you didnt tell the hystology of the lump . If a breast cancer has axyllary lymph node metastases it can cause swelling of the arm , but there are other causes for the swelling too . Removing of the armpit lump can be a couse for the swelling if there are damaged or ligated lymph vessels . If you were my patient i would suggest a physical examination of the breasts .
