Does the size of your breast increase your chances of having breast cancer

Does the size of your breast increase your chances of having breast cancer?
I have DD's and most the women in my family do as well. But none of them to my knowledge have ever been diagnosed with breast cancer. But doses breast size increase your chances of breast cancer or not?

no. part genetics, part environmental influences. dont forget monthly self exam and yearly mammogram (depending on ur age, of course)

No, breast cancer is genetic. It has little to nothing to do with the size of your breasts hon. Still if you are 25 or over get a yearly breast exam. You can find more information on the following link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breast_cancer Hope this helps answer your question

What is the earliest age for breast cancer

What is the earliest age for breast cancer?
What I mean by this is that I checked my right breast last night and my nipple looked weird to me. Right on my nipple (the lower part) looked like a bump. I felt it and It did kinda feel like a bump. Do you think is may be cancer?

It's always hard to tell. They really don't know how old you have to be to get cancer. If it concerns you, see a doc. That's your best bet. I would rather go and have them tell me it's nothing than to go later when it's much worse and have them yell at me for not coming in sooner.

Its VERY good that you check yourself. It doesn't mean that the lump is cancer. It can be a cyst. I have them and it scared me to death when I first found it. Just got to the dr. to be sure. I've read that woman as young as late twenties get breast cancer now.

If anything looks strange you should always just go to the doctor. Never mess around with anything that looks questionable. It could be absolutely nothing and in that case if it is then your doctor can tell you what you should be looking for. I'm not sure how old you are but I have heard of a 19 year old girl having breast cancer but as far as I know that is pretty rare. I had a scare a couple of years ago when I found a lump and had to go through surgury to have it removed. So I understand it can be a scary thing but just to ease your mind go to the doctor and get checked out.

There is really no age limit as even men can get breast cancer. If you do have a bump, share it with your mother and ask her to make an appointment to see a doctor to make sure. Most of the time, it turns out to be nothing, but on the few chances that it might, getting to it early is the best medicine.

I buy all my breast cancer items at the breast cancer site. The pink Band of Support bracelets are good quality and beside the name of the site they have Mothers, Sisters, Daughters, Friends on them. Currently they are 10 for $10 or 100 for $100 (fund raising). The site also has a button you can click every day to help fund mammograms for those who don't have insurance. I am a 6 yr breast cancer survivor and visit the site every day.
