I'm really concerned about a tumor in my breast that's about 1.5 inches from the top. It feels round, but the inside seems flat. It's been painful twice a week, and I feel the same pain on my back where the tumor is located. I've been seeing a homeopathic doctor who said it would improve in six months, but it seems to be getting worse and I haven't done any medical tests yet. What should I do?
