So I’ve asked this before but still unsure of breast cancer symptoms?
A question asked by ….: So I’ve asked this before but still unsure of breast cancer symptoms?
When i feel around my left chest i feel somewhat of a bump. Though i’m not sure if that’s just what’s normally inside the breast area. I don’t really want to go see a doctor and have them feel around my breast if i don’t think its that bad or i might not even have it.
My left breast right now hurts a bit just a little maybe a 3 on a scale of 1-10. Im thinking it maybe could be cause i don’t drink enough water so i get a lot of different weak small pain areas?
So how do I know if it’s serious, how long does it take for breast cancer to become severe that you 100% know something is wrong in that area?
I need advice.

There is no shame in going to see a doctor it is all confidential and remember they see this kind of stuff every day.
This is a website which shows you videos on what the symptoms are but also how to check for them.

But here is a list of the most common symptoms, but remember this is a simplified version.
Symptoms You Can See or Feel
swelling or lump (mass) in the breast
swelling in the armpit (lymph nodes)
nipple discharge (clear or bloody)
pain in the nipple
inverted (retracted) nipple
scaly or pitted skin on nipple
persistent tenderness of the breast
unusual breast pain or discomfort
I really would advice you to go see a doctor but understand if you don’t want to, in the meantime drink plenty of water, make sure you are not wearing a to tight bra and try and relax.
Hope everything turns out okay

It takes about 2 years for a tumor to be large enough to be picked up on mammogram. How long it takes before you are sure there is something wrong is irrelevant, because by that time it is too late. This is the purpose of screening exams. I doubt you are old enough to worry about breast cancer, because if you were you would be having a physical exam about once a year and a doctor feeling your breast would be the least of your concerns.
