First, relax the chances of this being cancer are really, really low. But you need to have the lumps checked out by family doctor and a Surgeon. A mammogram is in order so the doctors can visualize the lump to determine what and where it is.
My neighbor who when she was your age found similar lumps in her breasts. They turned out to be some very long word that means non-cancerous lumps. The doctors felt it was best to remove them so would not interfere in later years with breast development or milk production. She had what is called a lumpectomy to remove them.
When she finished maturing her breast grew to 36DD's. Which after her first child shrunk to a 34 B or C. Today she is 64 years old and the grandmother of 4. She has never had another problem with lumps in her breasts.
Now that is what happened to her. Everyone is different and everyone's problems will be different. You are young and the chances of Breast Cancer are so very slim you should not be so scared. You need to see your family doctor. Then have a Mammogram and see a surgeon to discus if they should be removed. This is something your parents are going to have to decide so talk to them and listen to the doctors.
The doctor will tell you if and when it is time to worry.

Your feelings of panic are understandable but it's unlikely that you have breast cancer. Go and see your doctor for reassurance as soon as possible - why waste time worrying?
Hope this helps, keep in touch and let me know how you get on? Best wushed x.

In all likelihood you are fine. If you are really scared about it you should see your doctor to set mind at ease. Unfortunately, we aren't doctors and cannot make any kind of medical judgment.
Even if we were advice would be of no use to you. A doctor has to physically see and examine this to tell you whether it's of concern or something they need to address.
One other thing don't read medical books or the Internet as you'll scare yourself silly if you read about stuff like this online or in a book and try to self-diagnose. Tell your mom you really want a doctor to tell you it's okay as you're freaked out.
