what are the chances of getting breast cancer as a 15 yr old?
Recently i have noticed a lump in my breast like on the left side of my nipple. It has never been there before and i am fraking out that i have breast cancer. Please help me.
thats normal
when your young like 15, you may notice your breasts are lumpy, its just because they are growing
if i was you i wouldnt be too worried but maybe if you go to the doctor they can tell you for sure
but i doubt you have breast cancer
dont worry, its just puberty and hormones that make breasts kind of lumpy
hmm I doubt there is anything to worry about. Have you started your menstrual cycle? If so, if may just be because of that. Your body is going through a lot of changes at this time. It’s good to be concerned, visit your pediatrician, I’m sure she will further clarify this situation for you. I had the same problem when younger, just don’t be shy to bring up the subject, it’s your body and you have a right to be concerned
good luck!
very slim……your breast are developing and the tissue has a tendency to be dense in areas as you develop….you can always tell your mom and have her take you to a Dr for an examination.
dont worry usually its nothing at your age
if its still their after a couple months then see your doctor, but i wouldnt worry about it
i mean it is possible to have cancer but the chances are slim
I agree to other comments, just always check your body, but if you are not sure try to visit your doctor…
