thats normal when your young like 15, you may notice your breasts are lumpy, its just because they are growing if i was you i wouldnt be too worried but maybe if you go to the doctor they can tell you for sure but i doubt you have breast cancer dont worry, its just puberty and hormones that make breasts kind of lumpy

hmm I doubt there is anything to worry about. Have you started your menstrual cycle? If so, if may just be because of that. Your body is going through a lot of changes at this time. It's good to be concerned, visit your pediatrician, I'm sure she will further clarify this situation for you. I had the same problem when younger, just don't be shy to bring up the subject, it's your body and you have a right to be concerned :) good luck!

very slim......your breast are developing and the tissue has a tendency to be dense in areas as you develop....you can always tell your mom and have her take you to a Dr for an examination.

dont worry usually its nothing at your age if its still their after a couple months then see your doctor, but i wouldnt worry about it i mean it is possible to have cancer but the chances are slimv
