It's already been said, but I would like to reiterate for the sake of reiterating ;]
Please, please, please go see a doctor. Go tell your mom right now and tell her to schedule an appointment for very soon [tomorrow at best], and have her take you.
It very well could be cancer, and if it's only been there a month or so, it could be in it's early stages and it is easier to treat.
Then again it might not be cancer, but better safe than sorry.

I think you should talk to your mom and go to the doctor. It could be cancer, but don't be a worry wart. It's impossible to know what the lump in your breast is without examining.
Answer: I strongly recommend that you see your GP as soon as possible. He or she will examine you and if necessary, arrange for you to go for further tests.
Most lumps in the breasts turn out to be fibroadenomas - benign connective tissue tumours. Sometimes, they make the breast feel heavy, tense and swollen, especially a few days before a period.
The lump could also be a free-moving benign tumour. This type of tumour is not sore and moves around inside the breast. Or it could be a cyst, which is a sac containing fluid.
But as you are aware some breast lumps are in fact malignant tumours.
To answer your final question, 80 to 90 per cent of breast cancer tumours are surgically removed. Additional treatment with drugs or radiotherapy may also be required.
REMOVING IT- I'M NOT 100% SURE BUT TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR AND YOUR MOTHER ABOUT THIS. YOU DON'T WANT IT TO BE UNTREATED BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T IT WOULD PROBABLY GET WORSE AND TURN OUT TO BE SOMETHING WORSE. THE DOCTOR WILL FIND A WAY REMOVING IT. MAYBE A SMALL PROCEDURE?

if you haven't yet you should tell your parent, and then go see the doctor. you would be increadibly young for breast cancer, but you still have to go to the doctor and they will most likely give you a breast exam first. also my mom has models of breasts because she works in breast cancer research and the lumps in those models feel really hard, not like a bubble. i could be wrong about what it would feel like though. you definately should go to the doctor though. maybe you have an infection or something. :/ i hope i helped a little bit.
:) <3 good luck
