breast cancer aged 15?
15/f
I'm really, really worried.
I know I'm only 15, but a few weeks ago I noticed that my left breast was persistently hurting and aching, and that the area around the outside of my breast and my armpit seemed thicker than usual, and slightly swollen.
The pain went away after about five days, but during the last week it's come back. At the moment, the whole breast feels very tender and painful, and at times it feels like there's stabbing pains in it. Also, the outer side and armpit of the breast is still slightly swollen.
It's really worrying me. I even got my mum to check if she could feel anything, but she said she couldn't.
Does this sound like cancer?
What should I do?

Nope. Your Breasts are growing. Breast cancer you will feel a lump. if truely worried you can talk to your doctor. but most likely they are just getting bigger. (unless you are pregnant?)

No. That does not sound like cancer.
Breast cancer tumors are generally painless and also extremly rare in teenage girls.
It could be part of normal development. It's not unsual for one breast to grow faster or at differently then the other, and yes, that growth can be very painful and tender. Swelling is not that uncommon either.
Go to a doctor if it concerns you and doesn't go away, but don't jump to such horrible conclusions.

Sounds like a cyst to me. I know people can get cysts under their armpits and on their boobs. I would get it checked out just to be sure :]
Good luck

Honestly I am not a doctor so I can't tell you exactly what it is. But if this is still going on for a while you really should see a doctor. Better safe then sorry, and just in case it is something I would get it checked out. I don't think it is cancer, but I would see a doc. just in case.
Good luck, all the best :)
