go to a doctor, you cant beat Cancer if you don’t….although I really don’t think that’s a symptom
I’M a 62 year old male, and I had a mammogram yesterday so be careful WITH THEY found a fatty mass on my right chest area. I told a friend this he thought it was pretty funny so any way I have a hard fatty mass with allot of pain. now to you guys that think this is really funny grow up. When I was younger guys that were bald was pretty funny .Not now I’ve lost a third of my hair. I ‘ve learned its not that funny. MIKE
The chances of breast cancer at 15 are as close to zero as makes just about no difference. If you had it your case would make headline news and would be written up in medical journals worldwide.
It’s almost unheard of in under 25s (let alone teens); fewer than 0.1% of all those diagnosed with it are under 30, only 5% are under 40 and most (80%) are over 50.
When I was diagnosed with breast cancer I was allocated to the breast care nurse whose special interest was ‘breast cancer in younger women’; I was 50.
At your age you shouldn’t be looking for breast cancer symptoms; it will tell you nothing and worry you unnecessarily. The American Cancer Society and other cancer organisations recommend that women begin breast self-exams at no younger than 20, if then. Before that it’s pointless firstly because there are so many hormonal changes that there is no ‘normal’ – and self examination is about a woman knowing what’s normal for her and reporting any changes. And secondly because the chance of breast cancer is almost nil.
You’re at an age where breast cancer is just about unknown, and you don’t have any symptoms, so stop worrying. Your chances of being struck by lightning are much higher than your chances of breast cancer at 15, and you don’t waste your time worrying about that, do you?
Talk to your mother about this; if you don’t feel comfortable doing that, talk to your school nurse, who will be able to reassure you you don’t have breast cancer.
I was just diagnosed with Breast Cancer, I am 42, and considered young by my surgeon. If it wasn’t for a Mammogram, I would have never known anything was wrong with my Breast at all. There was no pain, no visual differences, no lumps, No Nothing. I started going for Mammograms when I was 35 due to my Father’s Breast Cancer….There is no way you have Breast Cancer.
I have just finished my ordeal with breast cancer & you cannot cure cancer by your self. If you concerned of nipple change then go to doctor. I do not believe that you have breast cancer but Im not a doctor so go check it out
