chakra answered Friday June 9 2006, 5:13 pm: Chances of it being breast cancer are very very slim, my friend was about 15 when she had a golf ball like lump in her breast, it was just a cyst.
they are very common, she should just go to the doctor and they will tell her the best thing to do. it wont need an operation though and it's not a serious thing. [ chakra's advice column | Ask chakra A Question ]

Cancer is highly unlikely but it could also be a cyst that need to be checked and removed. Tell her to make a doctors appointment, there is nothing to be afraid of.

If she really won't go to her parents, as a last resort to getting her medical aid, how about you offering to go the doctors with her? Then, depending on the verdict, either go with her to tell her parents so she can explain she couldn't tell them before, or if it's bad news, maybe the doctor could give them the details. Either way, they are going to have to know, they will be so upset that she felt she could not go to them.
Breast cancer at 14 is quite rare but if it does occur it can be more serious, so she must have it checked out. The sooner this is done the sooner either her mind is put at rest or something can be done about it.
It might just be a cyst or a blocked duct but without a medical examination it's just guessing.
This has placed you in a very difficult position, she must trust you to have told you. I hope that you are able to convince her to at least tell her mother, she is best placed now to do everything she can to get her to a doctor.
The best of luck to you both and I do hope it is good news. [ isis's advice column | Ask isis A Question ]
NyCsweetie answered Thursday June 8 2006, 5:12 pm: oh my gosh, she needs to tell someone! My friend's mother died of breast cancer, the doctors said it may have been prevented if she had reported it earlier. Tell your friend that she needs to tell someone for her own safety! If she doesn't get help, i think you should. things could get really bad, or it may be nothing. You just can't know on your own.
Also, remind her that she is your best friend and you will always be there for her, no matter what. [ NyCsweetie's advice column | Ask NyCsweetie A Question ]

Thats extreamley seroius, you need to tell someone, or convince her to tell someone, its a serious matter.
