This happend to me not too long ago! Large lumps were appearing on me so I decided to visit a doctor because they were huge/painful/very red and very very hard. When I went to the doctors they werent even sure what they were! At first im like ..do I have cancer? The doctor didnt even know so she sent me to a radiologist for an altrasound. It turned out those huge lumps were just cysts! They hurt so bad!Im a soccer player so I wasnt sure if I got hit by someone?If it was cancer? It was just cysts =P After all I just took some pills they cleared up in about a week! Then, I was ok and they went away!=]

Most likely there cysts and not cancer! Take my word =]

Yes, you can be born with cancer. Get it checked out. Why delay?

It sounds like it could be cysts, you doctor will be able to determine for sure.

it's possible that a teenager can get breast cancer but it's VERY unlikely. you probably have a cyst (or cysts), but either way you should get it checked out just in case

I had a biopsy done....and they told me if I had pain that was a good thing....which I did. The doctor told me if I had NO pain then it was time to worry. So, I think I would not worry until they did some exams on me. Could be pain from stress or maybe your period. Cysts do hurt and they are usually not cancerous...but they feel like a sharp cutting pain like something is scratching you from the inside. I know I had one removed.

Firstly; you can get breast cancer at any age, secondly see a doctor. You don't want to lose to cancer
