? - Don't stress yourself out too much. The doctor knows more than anyone on Yahoo Answers. So try to relax and make sure you get that appointment ASAP. Good luck.
lo_mcg - At 17, the chances of breast cancer are one in 1.3 million, or less than 0.0001%. That's less than half your chances of being struck by lightning.
Most breast lumps, even in women old enough for breast cancer, aren't cancer.
Pain is very rarely a sign of breast cancer; most people diagnosed with it have felt no pain at all.
I was classed as a 'younger woman' when I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and was allocated to the breast care nurse whose special interest was 'breast cancer in younger women' - because I was only 50, which is quite young for breast cancer
Bobby's Girl - It sounds like a cyst. There is no pain in early stages of breast cancer. Cysts will enlarge before & during period time then, subside til next period starts. This is when they become painful. At 17 your chance of breast cancer is close to zero.

ReplyDeleteSarah N - good, get it looked at, probably a cyst. Tumors don't grow that fast

Tarkarri - Painful and growing rapidly usually means a cyst.
