They were there ever since I started to go throught puberty, so I thought it was normal.
The lumps don't hurt...but can this be breast cancer??

Answers:

When my breasts first started to develop, I had identical lumps in both of them pretty much directly under each nipple), which eventually became soft as my breasts grew. To have lumps in your breasts as they begin to develop is normal, I think it took 3 or 4 years for mine to completely go away. It's better to err on the side of caution. Like all of the other contributors, I too would suggest that you see your family doctor, if for no other reason than to put your mind at ease. It's rare to have breast cancer in someone so young, but not unheard of, and as for how long will she live, well.. the sooner she finds out and has it diagnosed one way or the other, the higher her chance of survival.
