Q: Lumps under arm

Hi There 
I have a lump under my left armpitt. My mother and sister have both died from breast cancer, my mum when she was 50 and my sister when she was 38. I am now 37 and will be 38 in this Novemember. I am worried that it may be cancer. I sometimes have a pain and tightness, well more of a tightness than pain, when I lift that arm up. Also if I lay on that side in bed it is as if the blood circulation is being cut to my arm and under my armpitt it is very tight/restricted. I have had an FNA on my right breast which turned out to be ok. Is there anyone who can offer thoughts????
Thanks
