Why would they be swelling though? I’m not going through any hormonal changes or breastfeeding. Cancer could cause them to swell.

Sometimes even weight gain, weight loss, stress, etc can cause hormonal changes resulting in these Montgomery's tubercles. Sometimes even tight clothing can cause this.
Do get examined by doctor to allay your fears.
Best wishes.
