Well, pardon me for being a cynic, but if the people bumping into your breasts happen to be guys, it probably wasn't an accident.

Why are people accidentally hitting your breasts? Is there anything you can do to prevent that from happening?
The bad news is that your breasts are getting hurt and you may be in pain; the good news is that you cannot get breast cancer from this occurrence.
There are many risk factors for breast cancer including age, family history, genetics, hormones, and smoking, and there are a number of things that you can do to reduce the possibility of developing it. Most importantly, make sure to visit your gynecologist for a routine breast exam or if you are over 40, get a mammogram every 1-2 years. You should also do breast exams on yourself once every month to monitor any changes (i.e., lumps) in your breasts. Check out http://cancer.health.ivillage.com/breastcancer/breastcancer4.cfm
for some information on the causes of breast cancer and ways to prevent it.

Never cancer never comes because of hitting your breasts. Cancer cell are available in almost every person but the only thing is they never trigger off. They are nomally dead cells without any function or multiplying. Some of our eating habits, smoking and taking medicines like hormones / steroids trigger these cells leading to cancer. Hence have no fears you will never get cancer from beating your breasts. If you still want to confirm it go and have mamography and that will even predict a cancer that could possible come after two years also.

Is possible but don't worry about this to much, because getting hit in you breast is not one top 5 reasons why woman get breast cancer. Ask you doctor if you are really concern about the symptoms of breast cancer he or she should know more about this issue.

Yes and no. If you get hit which is kind of strange and I hope you are not dealing with violence here....please seek help if so.
Scar tissue can be a factor in developping cancer in general as there is a lack of ciculation. Healthy habits and positive attitudes will protect you see for more info

No you do not get breast cancer this way. Not sure where you heard that but it is not true.

No. And why would you think that? If you have a concern, get a mammogram or a scan if you're younger.
