Can having breast cancer make your periods irregular?

I’ve just had two totally irregular periods, and mine are always perfectly regular, and I have a sore, lumpy spot in each breast that I only noticed after my first irregular period two months ago. I thought I was too young to get breast cancer (am 25), but am wondering if it could be something like that, but does it affect your period? I’ve been to the doctor about my periods but didn’t mention the lumps, because I’m waiting to see if everything will come right.

you should tell your doctor about those lumps because they could be cancer, but dont count on it, but to be safe, get a mamogram
If you have lumps, have them immediately checked out! There’s a reason why they advise women to check themselves daily in the shower for hard lumps in their breasts–it’s so that they can get treatment as fast as they can!
Breast cancer at 25 is uncommon, but no unheard of, especially if you have a history of breast cancer in the family line, or you have a gene that triggers estrogen-sensitive cancers that can pop up anywhere from 18 to 50.
Schedule a mammogram right now.
