i am a 14 year old boy and about last week i felt something like a small rock inside my right breast and after doing soem research i have found out that it is very rare that men get breast cancer and even less that a boy would so i've pretty much eliminated cancer in my mind but only because im scared shitless if it is. I do not wanna tell my parents because I'm afraid that if I do get a checkup, I might have cancer and if I do, mark my words I will go crazy. Has anyone else had this problem and if so...did the rock in the chest go away or were you diagonesed with cancer...please help me

You really should have that checked out. Probably is nothing, but if it is something and the doctors catch it soon it will go away. Don't worry too much.

Look, use logic...either you already do or you don't save something. Going to or not going to the doctor won't change that. Chances are that is some stupid result of puberty like a blocked gland. Tell your parents. It is what it is no matter what. But think: if it IS something you are a fraid of and you don't get it taken care of, it will grow and spread and then you WILL be in trouble. Why think the worst? Think of it as something that is just a simple annoying thing, like an in grown hair that has encapsulated, and the doc will tell you how to get rid of this annoyance.

You are a 14 year old boy who is going through puberty, during this time your hormone levels are all upside down. It can make strange things happen to the body.
Now rather than worry yourself stupid, tell a parent, go to the doctors and get it seen too. It is probably nothing at all to worry about, but worry about it you will if you don't do anything about it.

It could be a boil or fatty tissue or a non-cancerous tumor. It is probably nothing. Get it checked out. Tell your parents. It's better than going crazy with worry.

a friend of mine once got something like that. it was like a build up of fluid or something and he had to go to the doctor to get it out. tell your parents man and get it checked out.

you really do have to go and get this seen about. my son had one and it was a buildup of calcium. this is totally harmless,but don't freak out until a doctor checks it out. good luck and don't worry until the doctor sees you.

ITS NOT ALWAYS CANCER....NO...BUT YOU SHOULD GO TO DOC.....YOU GET IT REMOVED AS AN OUTPATIENT....ITS USUALLY JUST A COLLECTION OF TISSUE....BENIGN....MEANING NOT ANYTHING AT ALL EXCEPT TISSUE LUMP. OK IT DOES NOT LEAVE MUCH OF A SCAR EITHER.
