An early primary breast cancer will not make you more prone to sickness. I suspect you are young - early teens, so the risk of breast cancer is very low. It is not an emergency, but you should have this checked by your regular doctor. We can't examine you from here, and the doctor visit will relieve your anxiety. Plus,
maybe your doctor can figure out why you have been getting sick so much in the past couple of months.
Hope you feel better soon.
While certain cancers attack the immune system making you more prone to becoming ill, I doubt breast cancer is one of them. Just calm down, tell your mom, and go for a checkup. Your doctor will know 50x more then anyone here.
ur young so dont get ahead of urself

Consult with your doctor at the earliest, very important
My mother had breast cancer about 12 years ago, she is a survior, she has been re-diegnosed with it about 2 months ago and back in treatment. If you truely are afraid of having breast cancer go to the doctor and have it checked out, find out from family if anyone in your family has ever had breast cancer. Remember do not freak out, you haven't been tested, and in the rare event that you MIGHT have it there ARE treatments, and we are learning new things all the time about ways to treat and cure cancers.
It is EXTREMELY rare for someone as young as you are to have breast cancer; it is a disease mainly associated with ageing - 80% of people diagnosed are over 50.
Even in older women, most breast lumps are not cancerous. Many women have naturally lumpy breasts.
No, sickness isn't a sign of cancer.
The possibility of you having breast cancer is almost nil.
See your doctor to put your mind at rest - don't worry, s/he will be used to hearing worries like this and will take you seriously
well a lump in you're breast can be a number of things, it can be cancer. you need to have it checked. a lot of cancer's lower you're immune system. I've been sick every month for the last 2 years but i do not have cancer so you can't always go by how much you're getting sick. if people in you're family have had breast cancer then you have a higher risk of getting it.
My best friend is going through chemo for breast cancer right now. Best thing to do is not worry, but get to your doctor and get it checked out. If it is a cyst (not cancer), generally, you will have one on the opposite side (I have no idea why, but this is what most drs will tell you).
If you go through mammogram, ultrasound and blood tests (which is what they do first, usually) and they tell you all is well - insist on a biopsy anyway. Do not leave until you have had or are scheduled for a biopsy! My friend did not have a biopsy until 6 mos after she found the lump, they told her it was only a cyst. Well, it grew 10X the size and then when they discovered it actually was a tumor, she had to have more radical treatment than she would have. (if it had been diagnosed properly originally) It only took 6 mos to spread to her lymph nodes, which could have been really dangerous.
Get checked out, get a biopsy and think positive thoughts. You will be okay! My friend is 35 and the lump they removed was the size of a golf ball - she's going to be totally fine! Good Luck!
