I went for a jog a couple of days ago, and I started hurting just between my left breast and armpit. I think theres a lump and it feels weird. Is it serious? I'm only 13, but can I still get breast cancer?

Don't panic, I did. I used to have the same thing, in fact, I still do. When I was 16 (I'm 24 now) I noticed a lump the size of a peanut M&M in my breast. I mentioned it at the doctor and the doctor said not to worry.
However, if they do confirm there is a lump, insist on a ultrasound of the breast so a tech can see it. If they feel the need they may go on and do a bioscopy of it. It actually doesnt hurt as much as it looks.
Mine is benign for now, but every 6 months they do another ultrasound to be on the safe side. Just remember, it's always nice to be safe. Okay?
If you need ANYTHING, even just a friend who's been through this, email me kresenda_keith@hotmail.com

Don't panic, but I would definitly see a doctor. It could just be a cyst or something minor. But, theres a definite chance it could be related to breast cancer. If there is a history of breast cancer in your family, you have a great chance that it could be. And you can get breast cancer anytime after puberty. Even at 13. Just go see a doctor hun.

Young teenagers can get breast cancer even though it is quite rare. It could also be you have an infection/virus in your lymphnodes. They can swell when you are sick becoming very painful. (My mom's got so tender and swollen when she was once sick she couldn't put her arms down.) It could also be a cyst wich is a pocket full of fluid. They can drain it or it will go away on its own. I would tell your mom so she can make an appointment with your doctor.

I think that you should probably tell your mom to take you to the doctor, then do a little research about breast cancer on the web yourself.

It may not be breat cancer but you need to get it treated quick. My wife had it and we got it removed last year. Many of times, it is just lump of dead cells but may cause problems (even cancer) if we let it be there for long.

Try wheat grass juice or green tea if you can handle caffeine. Take garlic clove and slice it. Eat a sliced piece almost everyday.
The clay cure book may help.
Meditate. Blessings!

You can get breast cancer at any age. You should tell your mother immediately so she can take you to the doctor to get it checked out.
Hope it helps!!
