There's always a chance that anyone can get it, but yes, there does seem to be a genetic link. I would strongly suggest breastfeeding if/when you have children, as this GREATLY reduces your chances of breast cancer. This is a FACT. Use them for what they're meant for. It's healthier for the baby as well.

yes yes yes

Just being a women gives you a chance of getting breast cancer, one in 10 women. A first degree relative (like a mother) is another risk, a great aunt is too far to be a health risk

can you get breast cancer if you get sucked on your chest really hard

can you get breast cancer if you get sucked on your chest really hard?
It was my boyfriends birthday, and well, I wanted to give him my body as a present. We went to his house, and when we got to the exciting part, he took off all my top part, and started sucking on my breasts. For over 2 hours, he played around with them, sucked on them, and bit them. It's been three days now and my breasts hurt real bad. Can I get breast cancer from this?

No, but this is the way sex starts, and you can have a pregnancy in no time..... if you are giving your body away, sweetpea, google Planned Parenthood + your city and get on the bc pill, or you will become a mommy, and the bf will be gone before the kid is even 18 months old. Think about it.... reeeeeeeelllllyyyyy hard

well you can get breast cancer at any age feel the area around the nipple to the base if there is a lump their, take it to you mother and ask if that is normal or hereditary. if its not then you should probably go and get a doctor to take a look at it.
2 :
lumpy can be normal and it is unlikely but not impossible to get breast cancer so young. The only way to know for sure is exam, ultrasound and mammogram with a biopsy but the odds are this is totally normal breast tissue.
3 :
Lumpy bits are normal in breasts, very normal. You may find they are more lumpy around your period time.

I worked in a breast unit 4 a while and even though i am not an expert, i think the advice u have had so far is sensible, but if in doubt go to the doctors, if they think u need it checked do not panic as they usually only send u on for further tests to b on the safe side. Once you are referred the consultants never see it as a waste of time, they r just pleased they r sending away another patient who is healthy

The chances of breast cancer at your age are just about zero. It's mainly a disease of ageing - 80% of those diagnosed with it are over 50, only around 5% are under 40, 0.1% are under 30 and it's almost unheard of in under 25s. If a 14 year old girl had breast cancer the case would be written up in medical journals worldwide, it would be of such interest to doctors and so unusual. The American Cancer Society and othe cancer organisations recommend that women begin breast self-examination at the age of 20. Most breast lumps aren't cancerous, even in women over 50. Many women have naturally lumpy breasts. Stop worrying; you have no reason to suppose you have breast cancer and what you describe is perfectly norma
