Help do i have cancer?

[mimi-moomoo]

i found some lumps in identical places on each breast. They've been there a while now and it's starting to freak me out. My breasts are still developing though, so could it be that or is it cancer?

Go to the doctor - even if its just to put your mind at rest. I'm sure its nothing but go anyway.

Don't panic! If you are an adolescent all sorts of changes occur in your breasts. Even teenage boys get lumps, so don't worry.
The following site should help, but if you are still worried, talk to your mother and make an appointment with the doctor.

Sounds to me exactly like the lumps you get-breast buds- when you are developing. Are they quite tender and painful? I remember having the same. The fact that they are in the same place (in the centre?) shows that it is part of development and not just a strange coincidence. I would still go to the doctor if you are worried, but I am positive it is nothing.

Thanks I've been to the doctor and he said it's because I'm still developing!

Best way to go about it, get second or third or fourth opinions. I got a friend who is 20 plus and she has taken 2 lumps out of her breast since she was 17. Both lumps were malignant but they need to be out. So, go to have a check with a doctor who knows these kind of things and not just settle for one professional opinion. Hey, it's your body, take care of it, you hear me? Best of luck.
