Hi Anthony. Sounds like you're on the right track by checking things out with a doctor. Good on you.
It's very important to know what is normal is for your boobs. 'Feel it on the first' is a good phrase to remind yourself to self-examine every month. Get your doctor to show you how, or find a reliable guide on the internet. Breast awareness means that if a change occurs, you'll be onto it straight away.

When I had boobs (I had a double mastectomy last year), all my life the right one had aches and pains, and not just when I was pre-menstrual. No one could ever tell me why. Our bodies are sometimes a peculiar mystery!
My mother had breast cancer and my sister died from it. Then I was diagnosed with it. Turns out we have a gene mutation called CHEK2. If you're in Melbourne you might like to talk to the Peter Mac Familial Cancer Centre. They're the experts on cancer clusters in families.
I like that you're being proactive about your health! Big hug, K xox
