Is it possible for a 14 yo to have cancer?

[Nikki]

I'm 14 and I've found a bump 5cm above my boob and 3cm across, there is a red rash but I've been poking at it. You wouldn't see a bump but I happened to feel it by accident, and my other boob isn't like that. I told my mum and she said its just my cycle, she said that it would go away. Its not visable so you wouldn't no is was there. I'm crying and I've bad anxiety please help:'(

[James]

sadly yes anyone can get cancer go to the doctor straight away to get it checked out

[Stella]

Yes it is, I have a friend of mine that has a friend who has cancer and is 14 too.
You might just be panicking for nothing but there also might be something so I would suggest to go to the hospital to check. And since you're fourteen, your mom doesn't necessarily need to know ! I mean, if you are too shy to ask her to bring to the hospital for a check. But if she is fine with it, better ask her.

Honestly it might just be a little thing, not serious at all but just in case. Plus, if you do go and you have nothing, you will be much more relieved and less stressed !

Breast cancer doesn't cause a skin rash and it's virtually non-existent in young teens. It's primarily a disease that affects women who are age 40 and older. Hormonal breast lumps, however, are very common in teenagers and young women. Don't worry about it; it will go away.

dear, there are several choices about this situation , it may be just because of your cycle but for being sure go and ask a doctor for a mammography , it can exactly show what it is ,http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammography my mom was like that once , it was nothing

Cancer can affect anyone. There are, however, many causes of lumps and bumps on ones body and cancer is not by any means the most likely. Having said that, you should see your doctor and let him or her decide if this lump is harmful. If it were to prove cancerous, early detection is vital and usually results in successful treatment. Cancer might be very scary but most types are now considered non life threatening if treated early.

There are only a few types of cancer that might affect someone as young as 14.

Breast cancer isn't one of them.

The chances of a 14 year old having breast cancer are statistically ZERO. If it happened it would cause a sensation in the medical world.

Even in women old enough for breast cancer, most breast lumps aren't cancer.

Listen to your mum, she knows what she's talking about.

It would be rare for a 14 year old to get cancer,but just get it checked out by a doctor to put your mind at rest, your mum is probably right..
