you can but it's probaly unlikely\nLumps can be caused by extra tissue if your rbeasts aren't done developing. If you have the same size lump in each breast that's probably waht it is \ntbhey can also be benign cysts\nyou also get lumps before and during your period..\nif you are nervous talk to a gyno or your parentrs

I have a saying, "Genetics trumps everything".  That means that you can do everything you're supposed to AND still get breast cancer.  And we've all known people who ate the worst food, drank like a fish and lived to be 100.\n\nThe bottom line is that we just don't know.  Diet may be a factor but if it is, we don't really know how much.\n\nBest wishes.

anyone can get breast cancer. men get it too. the size or development of your breasts doesn't matter.\n\ndo a self check once a month. you'll understand your body better, and you'll notice that the fatty tissue that breasts are comprised of is often lumpy feeling, and then you won't freak out so much.

no\n\nbreast cancer is a disease that is caused by hormones stimulating the growth of cancerous cells in breast tissue. sometimes changes in DNA in the normal breast tissue can also cause cancer.\n\nthis horrible disease is largely genetic too-so if someone if your family had it-there is a chance you can get it too.\n\nwhat type of bra you where has nothing to do with it. \n\ncertain types of foods can help reduce your risk of getting it though. foods that are soy-rich,broccoli,spinach,and green tea are some of the things that can help reduce your risk...

keep your thoughts to yourself.  They are under age!\n14 yr. olds should not be encouraged to be overly sexy and hot.  Leads to trouble.

It could still be non-cancerous (benign), but her family history of breast cancer could mean that she also will have it at some point. Kylie Minogue and Anastacia had it, and they were young too. But please wait for the results and then deal with it when the time comes, find out all about the treatment options, most importantly find a doctor that your girlfriend is comfortable with. Treatment for breast cancer is so advanced nowadays, if it is caught early, there is a lot that can be done.

I work in a hospital and deal with ladies  with breast cancer on a daily basis. I get my fiance to check mine as well as checking them myself. I check his aswel. U can never be too careful.\nEspecially the younger lads from 16 up. Always check your breasts and testicles. You need to get to know what they feel like normally then u will know if theres anything abnormal.\nI think a goo boob size is 34 C/D.

Every girl has her own schedule, as a matter of facxt the average age is between 10-14, however there are ages before and after that, if you are worried, ask your parents(I am assuming you havent got there yet) to take you to thedoctor to ask questions, you can go to your school nurse too, and depending on your situation, you can ask your mom. I used to think getting my period would give me big boobs, I didnt even start to get boobs until 2 years later, other girls get boobs before their period, other then that, just wait, it will come, and then you may wonder when will it ever stop! LOL

sorry for you loss, you need to start being checked yearly...early detection is the key.  my aunt had breast cancer and she has been cancer free since 1997, I started being check then, I was 27 and now I and 36 and last week had a suspicious mass removed, thank God it was not cancer, only had the characteristics.  be safe and good luck!

Yesterday I heard a story about this on NPR. It was on All Things Considered called "Study: Estrogen Protects Some From Breast Cancer." It sounds like it is individual for each woman depending on past family history and overall current health. Check out the link.

Don't feel bad hunny, Im 17 almost 18 120 pounds and barely a 32 A. I'm thinking about going on birth control (i'm having sex) to help with the boob thing lol.. who knows what will happen. Sometimes I'm happy that i'm small chested like when I play volleyball they dont get in the way. But it just sucks when you see a really cute shirt you'd love to get but its low cut and you konw you don't have the cleavage to wear it, or it makes you look even flatter. grrr... .

fibrocystic breasts are fairly common.  But, size has nothing to do with cancer.  Small women get cancer too.

Yes, you're a typical 13 year old girl  :o)  We all worry about our appearance at that age; our bodies are all changing so quickly and at different rates from our friends.  All teenagers are comparing themselves to others and worrying about how they look .. it's only natural.  \n\nAcne and pimples: it's natural for you to get this at your age, but you can help by making sure you are eating lots of fruit and veg, and drinking plenty of water.  Try to stay away from junk food and the sugary drinks/snacks.  There's an excellent product on the market called Pro-activ, which will help to clear up your skin.  Also, the advice given to someone by a dermatologist recently was to carry some wipes around and wipe your face every hour as it keeps the pores clean and stops them from clogging.\n\nYou will have boobs soon enough.  I seen some of my friends develop large breasts around the age of 11, while some of us were up to five years behind them, but don't worry because you'll catch up soon enough.\n\nPlease remember that beauty is only skin deep.  Some girls look so perfect but do not have nice personalities, whereas others may not have the typical good looks, but have wonderful personalities; people notice that there is just something about them that is so attractive.  Be the best, happiest person that you can be and smile lots.  Beauty is within and shines through.  \n\nhttp://www.freewebs.com/spiritualhealing

It appears to depend on who you ask:\n\n- "the average age at diagnosis is 64" - reference 1\n\n- " the average age of women who develop breast cancer\n  is approximately 60 years old" - reference 2 \n\nFor considerably more analysis, take a look at reference 3\n(National Cancer Institute).\n\nThis describes how several risk factors (including\nfamily history, exposure to radiation or chemicals, etc)\naffect the likelihood and timing of breast cancer.

sorry to hear you are going through this at such a young age.  be open and honest with your daughter... talk to her about these things... there are many factors in figuring out the odds of her developing breast cancer.  many don't realize that having an abortion ups the odds of breast cancer, taking hormones at a young age, ups the chances, family history of breast cancer ups the chances, but just because a woman may have these things in their life don't mean that she will in fact end up with breast cancer.  advise her to do monthly checks on herself, to see her doctor on a yearly basis for gyne exams, and to stay away from birth control pills, and spermicides, to abstain from sex until she is ready to have children, and not to have any abortions.... to not up the risks of breast cancer.  also talk to your oncologist for more ways of preventing or early detection of breast cancer, to help your daughter, so that she may have a long and healthy life.  (i prayed for you and your daughter, and will try to remember you both in future prayers.)

She is only 13. Some girls dont start developing untill 15 or 16. As far as breasts tell her dont worry about them right know,she does not need to impress any one. Most girls that are developed at this age have eaten unknowing in there food, steriods. Before she knows it she will grow. She might be wanting her period to start but she does not need to worry untill she is 17 then worry .
