Cyst's or possible breast cancer?!
Question: Hi
I've just been thinking a lot lately. I'm 16 so I know the chances of me having breast cancer are REALLY small, but possible...
In both of my breasts there are lumps. They are not painful or attatched to anything and they seem to sometimes get larger and then get smaller, but they're hard. Are these cyst's? I've had them for a long time, and I was just wondering. At my next physical should I menchione it? Thanks.

Getting bigger and smaller, bigger and smaller sounds rather like something that cysts do, along with hormonal fluctuations. I believe cancer lumps can only enlarge. The main reason I think you should mention it is so your doctor can confirm what I just said, which is more likely to reassure you then some stranger's opinion. Peace of mind is a valuable thing, and there's no harm in asking about it.
you should mention them if you are worried about them.
I my self think those are normal breast tissue responding to you hormonal rages.
