Statistically the odds are in your favour. though it is possible to get breast cancer at any age, only 5% of it occurs under the age of 40 years. self examination is only suggested to start in women over the age of 25 years.
Go see your GP who will examine you, If you have a strong family history of breast cancer also chat to him about risk counselling. I am also a little concerned that this is an illogical health worry, this is also something to discuss with your GP.

I know exactly what you mean since I was about 25 I was absolutely sure that I was going to get breast cancer at 32, for no apparent reason. It was a real gut feeling and I was sure of it. Luckily here I am at 34 and fit and healthy without breast cancer.
I did get a couple of lumps and bumps and went straight to the doctors. They turned out to be harmless cysts that were drained. If you have any lumps or bumps that you are not sure about check them out with the doctor it is what they are there for and it is better to be safe than sorry.
Otherwise enjoy your life and try not to worry too much.

Lumps in the breast should be checked by your doctor. Unfortunately many people die of embarrassment each year because they put off seeing their doctor till it's too late.

What round thing? You should not feel any lumps or irrgularities. See your doc to ease your mind and have him/ her show you how to preform a breast exam properly and then do them monthly like you are supposed to.

It's a common thing to worry about. The best thing is to stop worrying and go to your doctor...
