Doctors recommend that patients do their own exams because they are more apt to notice when something is not right, different.
That is what you have done. One of the signs of breast cancer is a lump.
Show this letter to your mother.
Mom, it's better to be safe than sorry. Call your daughter's doctor and explain to the nurse what she said in the above letter (emphasis on lump.) Ask her if she should see a paediatrician, gynaecologist. She may just tell you to bring her in. They need to check her out anyway, because of her periods.
No one is immune to cancer.
Please do not put this off. If it is nothing, then you have peace of mind. Otherwise, timing may be crucial. |

It's probably just puberty. The chances of it being breast cancer are extremely low, because you are way too young. Your hormones have gone all wacky because you are going through puberty. The lumps may be cysts or fatty deposits, but since you are SO concerned, see a doctor.
Then stop worrying about such things... for heaven's sake, you're just a child! Don't worry about cancer, your weight, or anything else grown up. Your body will go through spurts of growth periodically. When I was your age, my periods were very erratic.
While you're AT the doctors, ask for some information on what to expect as you go through puberty, even stuff most people don't get. Eat right, stay active instead of lying around doing nothing, and you should be okay. Now stop worrying.
And one last thing, breast pain can be caused by your hormones being out of wack, or by eating and/or drinking too much caffeine. Soda, chocolate, aspirin, Midol, Excedrin for Migraines, Red Bull, and other energy drinks; tea, coffee, and ANYthing with chocolate in it, no matter how small -- has caffeine. Sodas are the worst, especially Mt. Dew. Also, you may get pain in your breast around the time of your period, whether you actually GET IT or not. And STRESS can stop your period all together... so stop worrying so much. |
