But cancer is not necessarily painful, especially in the early stages !. !. tumors or lumps can co-exist nicely inside the body for quite some time!. Sometimes the ONLY warning sign a young person has that they have cancer is that unusual lump or bump !. !. especially if it seems to be growing!.
You need to be examined by a doctor to determine what this is !. !. no one here can really answer that because it needs to be clinically examined!. From your brief description !. !. cancer cannot be ruled out !. !. even though it is rare in teens and most importantly !. !. because even though it might not be breast cancer it might be another type more likely to occur in a young male (which is sarcoma)!.

You are very, very unlikey to have breast cancer!.
Breast cancer is largely a disease of ageing - 80% of those diagnosed are over 50!. In addition, more than 99% of those diagnosed are female!. This makes your chances very close to zero!.
It is most likely that your lump is hormonal - what you desribe is not unusual in adolescent boys!.
BUT you need to check it with your doctor; s/he will be used to such concerns and will take you seriously, and hopefully will be able to reassure youWww@Answer-Health@Com
