It is very rare but it can happen.

Unfortunately, it is possible however very rare that you may develope breast cancer. One misconception people have is that they are only at risk over the age of 40 and also that they will only get it if a family member gets it. Both are untrue, however they both increase your risk. I just finished with breast cancer treatment and the youngest patient they had at the hospital was 13 years old. I'm not trying to scare you but for piece of mind I would see a doctor. If you are feeling something, most likely it is fibrocyctic cysts, which are more commen in young women then older women. Regardless of your result, everything will work out.

It's very, very, rare, but it can happen. Have you been doing breast examinations and found something that you think is a lump? Some women have very lumpy breasts (I mean, if you press down on them). It has to do with the tissue that makes up your breasts, but it's easy to mistake the general lumpiness for the type of lump that puts women in the hospital. You should be worried if you find a lump that stands out from the rest. It would probably be about the size of a pea. If you think you have found something, go to a doctor to get it checked out.
Of course, if you're asking a purely hypothetical question, then I've just been rambling on for the past paragraph.

You can get breast cancer any time you just get a higher risk when your older
