CopperKid asked:
Hello folks.
I am a15 years old female and I have recently discovered a small lump in my left breast ( about the size and shape of a M&M). I’m especially concerned about it because my grandmother lost her breast to cancer, which means it is in my genes. Is is possible for someone so young like me to develop breast cancer ? Is there certain symptoms (occasional pain in the location, drowsey… etc)…

Breast cancer is one of the worst types of cancer you could get. In the US alone it is the second biggest killer of women. It is therefore essential that you do regular checks to ensure that if you ever do get it you will be able sort it out before it gets out of control.
One of the most common ways of checking is to examine your breasts for any lumps. If you find any lumps which feel different to the other areas of your breasts then it is advisable to go to your health physician for a professional check up.
A mammogram scan is also recommended as it can detect cancer up to three years before you might be able to feel a lump in your breast and the earlier you detect it the easier it will be to rid yourself of the disease.
Other symptoms would include unusual pain in the breast and under arm area as well as a clear or bloody discharge from your nipple.
If you have an unusual lump on your breast it might also be a cyst which is just a fluid filled sac which is nothing to be too worried about and only needs to be removed if it is causing you pain. The number of cysts will not influence your chances of getting breast cancer so do not worry. If you are unsure always go to the doctor so that you can ease your worried mind and know if you have it or not.
Knowing the signs of breast cancer are vital so that you can catch it before it gets out of hand. In today’s world breast cancer patients have a much higher survival rate than previously due to newer and better technology.
