Don't play around with the cyst thing. That is what my daughter had and she decided to have the cyst removed and that is when they found the cancer. The doctors kept draining the "cyst" but the fluid kept coming back. You may be wise to have a biopsy, just to be sure. She was only 27 for her first mastectomy and five years later the other breast. So far she is ok.
