I Am Pre-menopausal. Have A Swollen Lymph Gland. Feeling Lumps In My Breast. What Could It Be?

I have no periods and I am 40 years old. I may get one from time to time. I think I am pre-menopausal. I have a swollen lymph gland in my left arm pit, and my left arm and hand swells often and both of my breasts have been extremely sore for a very long time, For the first time I am feeling lumps in my breasts, I have dense breasts. My doctor told me yesterday that he wants me to get a mammogram asap. Do you think this could be IBC?
