Strange lump in my breast?

Is it possible for a 15-year old to have breast cancer?

I'm a 15 year old female and I've felt lumps in my breasts before, but I dismissed them because I could feel them on both sides. Now I feel a kinda hard-ish, small lump, close to the center of the chest. I can feel it in my right breast, and there's another sort-of hardish lump in my left breast, but I'm not sure if it's the same thing.

I'm not sure if I'm just being paranoid because I'm always kinda paranoid about cancer.

Sounds like classic teenage paranoia.

Your risk of breast cancer at your age is statistically ZERO.

The risk between the ages of 16 and 20 skyrockets to about 1 in 1 million, half the risk of being hit by lightning.

80% of those diagnosed are over 50.

Teenagers are NOT at risk of breast cancer and no RELIABLE health authority recommends they do breast self examinations.

What you are describing sounds like normal, hormonal, developing breast tissue.

that must be very not likely. besides the tumour is commonly located interior the decrease exterior quarter of the breast or interior the axilla. i could wait an afternoon or 2 and then take an action, yet I doubt it rather is going to likely be very severe.
