It would be rare, but get it checked out to make sure.

If you have lumps in your breats then I would get checked. I pretty sure that you can get breast cancer at 19. My sister had cancer of the uterus at 16.

It's very rare, but it does happen. You definitly want to get it checked out. If you have cancer and you catch it early you coul dhave it removed with a minor proceedure. Once it starts to spread, if it's malnignant, your conditions would be very serious very quickly.
Ask your family about who in the family has had cancer before you see your doctor. They may want to know to help assess your risk.

yes, a 19yrs old can get breast cancer, especially if your mother or a close family member had it u would be predisposed. if its not in you're genes and your still concerned about the lumps in your breast its best if you visit the doctor and get a mammogram done soon

if it runs in the family then yes theres a very good chance but if not i would just go to have a mamagram done just to be on the safe side i have a few lumps in mine that i have had all my life so it could just be your body but i would still have a doc check them out

My cousin had a lump in her breast when she was 21, and for awhile they thought it was cancer, but it wasn't.
I think you need to see a doctor, hun.

you should get a check..you can get cancer at any age
if the lumps aren't malign now...probably they will never be
visit a doctor ASAP

It is very rare, but it can happen.. If it runs in your family or if you carry a specific gene, it is very possible.
