At 15 your chances of having breast cancer are just about zero.

Most people (80%) diagnosed with breast cancer are over 50; only 5% are under 40, fewer than 0.1% are under 30 and it's almost unheard of in under 25s.

The American Cancer Society and other cancer organisations recommend that women begin breast self-examination at the age of 20.

Routine screening begins at 40 in the US and 50 in the UK.

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer I was classed as young; I was 50.

Most breast lumps, even in women over 50, aren't cancerous.

Your breasts are still growing and developing and any changes, including lumps, are almost certainly hormonal.

If you're concerned about a lump talk to your mother or your school nurse, who will be able to reassure you.

omg if you do go NOW if it is that then you can kill it if you spot it fast enough

Breast cancer doesn't have pains. Pains in your breasts can come from other things, such as having too much caffeine, or muscle pains.

Probably see your doctor but, at 15, you are extremely unlikely to have cancer.

If you have felt any type of lump, even if you think it is nothing, go to your doctor. In fact, make an appointment tomorrow. Don't wait, it is vital that it is caught early. Better safe than sorry. Goodluck.

You should go to your doctor, you can develop cancer at any age, and it's better to know. If you have a lump you should go and get it checked out...Hope I helped and Good Luck

When you go for annual pap smears, they do a breast exam on you. Breasts are mainly made of lumps. They're fat tissue and glands. they really can't do a mammogram on someone as young as you because tissue is too dense.

yes. also avoid alcohol since that definitely causes cancer according to the world cancer research fund.

Never assume anything - if you are in any doubt certainly go and get checked, although consult your GP first.

Good luck.

if u have a lump ur not sure of go and get it checked right away! its very unlikly to be breast cancer coz ur only 15! wimen over 30 usually get it!:)

omg if you do go NOW if it is that then you can kill it if you spot it fast enough
