oneandonly345 answered Saturday April 23 2005, 12:59 pm: yes, it could be breast cancer.. does it run in the family? if so i would most deff get ot looked at. or it might just be your breast growing still. Just to make sure, i would talk to a parent and get it looked at. you can never be to careful.
i hope it is not cancer best of luck

You should see your doctor. Lumps on your breast is not normal when your breast is growing. To answer your question- yes teens can get breast cancer.
mrs_radcliffe answered Saturday April 23 2005, 5:43 am: Yes teenagers can get breast cancer. If you have a lump i surgest you get to a female doctor to see what it is. It can also be that your growing and sometimes they can hurt and have little bumps.
DrEaMgIrL answered Friday April 22 2005, 9:12 pm: I actually read a book because i had the same problem, it said that it was normal to hurt. if the bump is like poking out...then there may be a problem but if it is like in the center than it is suppose to be there.
vermillion26 answered Friday April 22 2005, 7:57 pm: yes, any woman at any age can get breast cancer, you should go see your doctor and have him/her check it out. you'll feel better knowing what it is then sitting at home worrying. wih breast cancer and almost any cancer, if they catch it early enough they might be able to remove the tumor. i really hope everything checks out alright.
piggy100 answered Friday April 22 2005, 7:36 pm: hi. yes teenagers can get breast cancer your age really doesnt matter. you should really tell someone about it and go to a doctor or gyno and get a pap-smear because you really dont know what it is yes it could be your breast growing but you should really see a doctor because you arent going to find out what it is until you go and see somone about it dear.

XoKisses0n0HugsOx answered Friday April 22 2005, 7:05 pm: No matter what age - all women can have breast cancer. I recommend you go get that checked out as soon as possible, especially considering the fact that you said it hurts a little in that area.
Even if turns out to be nothing - better to be safe then sorry.
Hope I helped. [ XoKisses0n0HugsOx's advice column | Ask XoKisses0n0HugsOx A Question ]
Foxsea17 answered Friday April 22 2005, 6:43 pm: You can get breast cancer at any age. I know a girl who had breast cancer at 17. Although odds are that you don't have cancer, you definitely need to get it checked out. It's always better to be safe than sorry! All you need to do is make an appointment to see a doctor, have him or her check it out. While there, ask for a pamphlet for how to do a breast exam on yourself. It'll help you know what's normal and what's not and how to stay on top of your health! Hope I helped! Good luck! [ Foxsea17's advice column | Ask Foxsea17 A Question ]
iWALKintoWALLS answered Friday April 22 2005, 6:42 pm: yes. you can get breast cancer, but its rare, but happens, you should really go talk to your mom, so she can make an appointment for the gynocologist, they're the "woman" doctor. your probably worrying over nothing but just in case...dont hold off on it....if it is something serious you should get treated for it rite away...dont be afraid to go to your school nurse also to see if she can be of any assistance...good luck...you'll be in my thoughts
