kristen22 answered Saturday June 3 2006, 7:18 pm: I know this can make you very scared because you think that it might be cancer so here's some good news for you. I don't think that it is breast cancer because cancer does NOT hurt and yes I can say that because I KNOW for a fact, also your very young to have breast cancer. If what your feeling in your brest doesnt go away on it's own in a few days then what you probably have is a cyst. They are very common in women of all ages. It's nothing that you can die from or can hurt you. It's more of a nuisance, causing you to worry, it hurting and so on. What will happen is you go to the Dr. and they will stuick a needle in the lump and drain the fluid out of the cyst then your done. I know it sucks but there's no getting around it. Hope I helped.

I suggest seeing your doctor immediatly.
Go to a hospitol, clinic, anywhere. Just get some medical attention.
You should also get a mamogram. A doctor should be able to give you one, or at least suggest where to get one.

early breast cancer usually does not cause pain. when it first develops, breast cancer may cause no symptoms at all. But as the cancer grows, it can cause these changes:
*a lump or thickening in the breast or armpit
*a change in the size or shape of the breast
*discharge from the nipple
*a change in the color or texture of the skin of the breast or areola (such as dimpling, puckering, or scaliness).
any changes in the breast should be reported to a doctor without delay. Symptoms can be caused by cancer or by a number of less serious conditions. Early diagnosis is especially important for breast cancer because the disease responds best to treatment before it has spread. The earlier breast cancer is found and treated, the better a woman's chance for complete recovery.
