She is only 10 and Friday we go for an ultra sound to see what it is. The lump has been there for about a month and the doctor didnt really go into detail about anything until she gets the results from the test. Have you known anyone that young to have breast cancer or am I worring too much?

if she's been through puberty (10 seems far too young but it happens), it could be breast cancer, otherwise the tissue there has yet to develop into what could host breast cancer. Its Extremely unlikely, however these things do happen. Don't freak yourself out until it becomes serious, I doubt it will. You're a good mom

Nobody that young has ever had breast cancer, I think 25 was the youngest ever. Doctors were actually shocked about a woman THAT young getting it. Most likely it will be a harmless cyst that may go away on it's own. Please try not to worry too much.

Your daughters age does not matter. There is no such thing as too young to have a condition but it is less likely. You will have to wait until the results are in. Jumping to conclusions is never a good idea. Most breast lumps are benign so it is in her favor. Good luck!
4 :
Most likely it is and infected cyst. Breast cancer, although extremely rare-1 to 100,000,000, really, can be found at young ages. Diseases and cancers seem to affecting younger and younger each generation. Relax for now, because children and teen girls often develop cysts which are often harmless and, if infected, will be drained and everything will go back to normal. Don't expect the worst, but prepare for it.

Unfortunately no age is too young, but her age does make it A LOT less likely.
6 :
Highly unlikely that this would be breast cancer. Stop worryingbecause this is only adding extra stress to you and your daughter. If the Dr was concerned that it might be cancer he would have arranged for an urgent ultrasound TODAY!
7 :
Highly unlikeable! There are several diagnoses she may have. The first being a fluid filled sac in the breast that they can drain and the second is that of a solid mass made of tissue called a fibroadenoma. Having been in nursing for quite sometime, it has been my experience that when a physician has a concern for a cancer diagnosis test like x-rays and ultrasounds can be ordered the next day. As a mother I know it is difficult not to worry but take a deep breath exhale and tell yourself everything is ok I would like to hear follow up after the ultrasound.

I have never heard of any female that young with breast cancer. It does not mean it won't happen but I doubt it, and I have had cervical cancer.
