Answers:

No Bianca, you don't

The chances of breast cancer at your age are ZERO.

Pain is very rarely a sign of breast cancer - most people diagnosed with breast cancer have felt no pain.

If it were possible (it isn't) the fact that you feel pain in both breasts makes it even less likely that this is anything to worry about.

Breast pain and tenderness is normal; we've all experienced it.Yes, it's part of growing up and it's part of normal breast development.

Breasts are lumpy, bumpy things; and even in women old enough for breast cancer, most breast lumps aren't cancerous.

I was referred to as a 'younger woman' when I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and I was allocated to the breast care nurse whose special interest was 'breast cancer in younger women'. Why? Because I was ONLY FIFTY, which is quite young for breast cancer.

Talk to your mother so that she can reassure you; and talk to your school nurse - she will be able to reassure you that all is normal and you DON'T have breast cancer



i'm 14 too and i've felt pain in my breasts too, no lumps though, it's highly unlikely to have breast cancer at our age, if they pain alot and you worry about it, i'd say, go see a gynecologist, i'm not saying this because i feel liike you really have a disease, it's because that will help clear your doubts and make you feel better.



its probably just "growing" pains i had them alot when i was younger. the lumps will be tissue it will go away soon but if you are very worried go to see a dr



You are still at the development stage.
Pain in breasts are not a sign of breast cancer.
