How old are you? A lot of people think they have lumps especially just before or after they get their period. Has it grown in size since you found it? The best thing to do would be to go to the doctore and then you can put your mind at ease. They will be glad you have come to see them as it shows you are sensible and aware of the importance of checking yourself and checking anything you are worried about.

well if your a teenager.. your supposedto have lumps until your finished with puberty so its normal.. but if you 18 and older.. you need to go to a doctor.

i think i might know what you are talking about. is it a big thing in the middle? b/c that is supposed to be there, but if not, i would see a doctor. the longer you wait, the worse it could get.

You can't be sure until you go to the doctor. Tell your parents first and go to the doctor to make sure nothing is wrong. It'd be a shame if you did have cancer and you died from it because you didn't get it checked out early enough. Tell your mom that you have a lump in your breast and see what she says and tell her that you want to go to the doctor to make sure that everything's ok. It's always better to be safe than sorry.

Don't panic. You have to go to the doctor before you are sure you have breast cancer. It could just be a stopped up lymph node, which isn't terrible. So tell you parents and find out for sure, and then decide from their. It's very good that you are testing yourself.

It's less likely for a teen to have breast cancer, but if you think you have it, you should see a doctor right away. I once had two tomatoes. One had just a litle rotton piece, i cut it off and ate the rest, but the other one was even more rotton. More than half was rotton, I bet. So you see, the sooner you see a doctor, the less danger you will be in..or your breast.

tell ure rentz and see a doctor asap. cuz if you are treated early then it can be treated and cured easily than if u would wait then it gets worse.

OH wow.You should tell your parents right away.My mother had breast cancer and if your suspicious of any cancer you need to see a doctor imediatly.Breast cancer can be very bad if you dont take care of it.Also it might not exactly be a cancer it could be a mass.But still you should visit a doctor.
<3Good Luck

you really should tell your parents....and go to the doctor ASAP!!!

well i don't know how you plan on telling for sure if you don't go to a doctor. hopefully your comfortable enough to talk to your mom. let her know the situation. if she needs to check it out you should let her. if she thinks it's serious enough you should make an appointment to go to the doctor. cause breast cancer is serious situation. and even though your not sure it's better to be safe than sorry.
]
You need to tell imediatly. You won't know if you have it until you go to the doctor!! Tell because you need to stop it (if it is cnacer) before it gets serious.
]
It isn't right to not tell cuz if you have breast cancer it's not good. Tell somebody like your mom they're your family they'll always except you no matter what!
]
You said: i dont want to go to the doctor until i am for sure that i might have it.
But really, you don't know you have it until you go to the doctor.
See what I mean? You seriously need to go as soon as you can. It might be nothing, it might be something. The only way you'll know is if you get tested for it.
]
Don't wait to find out if you're sure you have it... Go get it tested right away. Wouldn't you be relieved to find out it was nothing.. (which it may be) as for telling your parents just say, you're not sure what it is but you want to have it checked out soon. They'll completely understand... but hun, go to the doctor!
Hope I helped!

i would go right away to the doctor because you can never be sure. the longer you wait, the worse your case will get if you do have it so go now.

Give yourself a breast examination, checking for discharges:

But you really need to tell you mom and go to the doctor.
]
That's kind of the point of the doctor, you know? To figure out what you have. Go to the doctor RIGHT NOW.
]
I would tell your parents becuase thats something you should defintly bring up to them and get it caught before it gets to carried away

if your boobs are still growing its very unlikely you have breast cancer. It might be a cyst, which although not usually dangerous, need to be checked out by a doctor. Or it could simply be related to your menstrual cycle (your boobs feel different when you are on your period, as opposed to when you are not). You need to go to a doctor, just to be on the safeside. It's good that you are keeping track of these things though.

Well I would say not to panick about it right now all you have to do is just get a check up but I would get an appointment as soon as you can! I hope I helped! Love xoxo- ♥Andie

You need to go to the doctor ASAP... any type of cancer is curable as long as it is found at an early stage... i know a LOT about cancer... the longer you wait the harder it will be to cure... dont be embarassed to talk to ur parents about it... because this is REALLY important... feel free to IM mE...

It depends on how old you are. If you're a teen, it's normal to have lumps as your breasts are growing. Just see your doctor and get it over with.
]
You can never be sure. You just have to go to the doctor. I've been through someone telling me they have cancer many times so what you should do is sit them down calmly and tell them. If I was you I would go to the doctor first. You don't want to get them worked up over nothing. I hope I helped. God blesses you through this time.
P.S. If your family needs to talk to anyone who has lost someone very close to cancer leave one in my inbox (thet will either be able to talk to my mom, grandama, or one of my cousins) (mom lost sister) (grandma lost daughter) (cousins lost mother).

Well the only way to truely know that the lump may be a sign of breast cancer is if you go to your doctors and get it checked out! You could also look online for lumps I guess but you should go to your doctors! If you don't go, it may lead to a lot of problems! Hope I helped :)

the only way for sure t know is if you go to the docs. it could be cancerous, but it could not be. you should tell someone and get an appt. for the docs.
