I'm just 15 years old n just about an hour ago a have discovered a lump on my left breast. Am I not too young to have breast cancer? Help me please because I am freaking out about this because I also read somewhere that women that grow lumps on their breasts at an early age are twice as likely to have breast cancer when they're older. Is that true? I need your help. Please tell me what to do. :oops:

Nodules are very common especially before getting period in some women due to hormonal changes in the body...This is most likely to be your situation as you are very young and liable to this. If this is the case, it should be gone in a few days....I suggest to keep palpating yourself everyday and if it is still there in 4-5 days tops go see a specialist.
