Question

im 13,turning 14 on the 21st of january.i've been really really paranoid lately.Ever since i started watching 'house' constantly...ive been kinda nervous about that concerns being sick.i started checking if i had breast cancer and checking for lumps.at first it was near my chest.but then i also had one on my other breast.so,i guess it was nothing.then i had another one somewhere else.but then i had yet another one. but this time,this is what made me uber paranoid.its on my left brest.kinda near my armpits.and its not that big,but see,i dont have it on my right breast..well,i think i do...but not as big as the one on the left.just a little difference though.i have falling hair,but only in single or double strands.i had my period around 2 years ago?


so,what do you think?i need help:(

Answer 1

hi i'm 14 too and i get the same concern sometimes.
however, i found out that it's very rare for someone your age to get breast cancer unless it runs in the family.
your hair only falls out when you get chemo treatment.
as for your perioid, i don't know. but if you're really concerned you should go to your mom about it.

Answer 2

Dear lilnizlovesyou,

You should and shouldn't worry about. Like some other forms of cancer, breast cancer has no symptoms. It is also not painful. The majority of breast cancer cases are discovered before symptoms are present, either by feeling a breast lump or finding an abnormality on mammography.

My best regards.

Answer 3

Well, none of the tests I've run on you come back positive. Your skin looks okay. I'm a little concerned about your weight...you may be bulimic...did I spell that right?

Oh, wait. I was confusing you with one of my REAL patients!

Answer 4

Stop watching House and all similar shows.

Answer 5

If you're worried about it, ask your doctor. Nobody here can give you a diagnosis over the net.

Answer 6

Go see your doctor.
