Answers:
Most breast lumps aren't cancerous, and at 16 your chances of having breast cancer are close to zero.

Breast cancer is mainly a disease of ageing - 80% of those diagnosed with it are over 50, it's rare in women under 40 and it's almost unheard of in under 25s.

The American Cancer Society and other cancer oraganisations recommend that women start breast self examination at the age of 20.

Your breasts are still growing and developing and what you describe is probably hormonal.

Try not to worry too much this week - it's very unkikely to be cancer.

Good luck on FridayHealth Question & Answer

There are many minor things it could be--cyst, fibrous tissue, etc. It is possible it's cancer, but it's very possible it isn't. Worrying yourself sick will not make whatever it is go away, so do your best not to worry about something you cannot change or fix. Go to the doctor and have the ultrasound. Try to focus on the fact that your body is healthy and remember that worrying won't fix it.

Good luck.Health Question & Answer

It's probably just a cyst. Is it painful.? If it is, it's not cancer. Many people have fibroids in their breasts, especially if you have large breasts. Keep a check on it. If it appears to be shrinking, it's not cancer.Health Question & Answer
