YES, you absolutly could. I was 19 when I was diagnosed with Breast cancer. First off, know that 98% of breast lumps are benign (meaning NON cancerous). Cancer doesn't hurt, so I have a feeling your lumps are just tissue, your breast could be going through a growth spurt, if it is that time of the month it could be those changes too. If Breast Cancer runs in your family, go and get an MRI or mammogram. You are at the right age that you should be getting yearly female check ups which include your breasts. Good luck to you!

You can get breast cancer at any age; however, it is more uncommon for someone your age to have it. The lumps you are feeling are probably related to your menstrual cycle- your mammary glands get swollen before "that time" of the month. If you are concerned still, bring it up with your gynecologist next time you go for a checkup. She will examine you, and if she feels anything unusual, or if you have a family history of breast cancer, she will schedule a biopsy. It is probably nothing, though.

Most lumps in the breast are not cancerous. However, since cancer can strike anyone at any age, it is important that you see a doctor as soon as you discover a lump.

Any one can develop cancer at any age. Go to your doctor and have the lumps checked out. The sooner you do this, the better you will feel. If it's bad news, the goods is that you found out early enough to do something about it (early detection is the key!!). It could just be blocked milk ducts. go to the doctor, OK?. Good luck.

Cancer doesn't care what age you are. Go get it checked by you Dr. I had something similar at about 25 and it turned out to be a ruptured milk duct and non cancerous so don't get all stressed. It was day surgery and took maybe 1 hour start to finish. I remember I played fastball the next evening. But get it checked.

Yes a 19 yr old can get cancer. Go to your OB-Gyn NOW. The key is early detection. They may just be fibroids, but never take a chance. My mother is a 10 yr breast cancer survivor and my sister is battling it now. Please, for your own peace of mind, go. I'm sure you will be fine.

Anyone at any age can have cancer......If i were you i would go to the doctor and get it checked out so you can do something about it at an early age and not find out about it and then it's too late to do anything about it.............

Anyone can get cancer. Our world is full of cancer causing agents.
Anyone can easily cure cancer - unless it is your time.
Juice an onion in the morning - drink a turkish tea glass full at least one hour before drinking or eating anything else.
Repeat for forty days.
If your cancer can be cured - this will work.
Yes, it tastes awful!
