I'm 15 years old and my left breast has been hurting for a about 2 weeks now. About a week ago I found a massive lump that goes from my armpit to my nipple. Wats wrong with me? Do I have breast cancer?

Muppet, have you not been to the doctor yet? As we have told you before, you are rather young to have breast cancer. This could just be swollen lymph nodes if you have been ill recently.

You see, lymph nodes are not only in your neck, but all over your body. You have them under your arm, in your breasts, on the inside of your elbows and knees, stomach, groin, etc.

As we have advised you already, please tell your Mom and have her make a doctor's appointment to have this checked out.

It is most likely nothing hun. It could be just your breast tissue beginning to grow if you have little breasts or breast buds at this time.

I can assure you that you don't have breast cancer.

Have you been ill recently?

Sweetie, I am not sure that it is nothing as I haven't been able to do an exam. I am just going by what you say.

You NEED to discuss this with your mother, possibly have a doctor take a look at it to give you an exact diagnosis and ease your mind.
