Can women between the ages of 21-28, have breast cancer


Can women between the ages of 21-28, have breast cancer?
I am a 24 year old and am feeling sharp pinching pains on my left breast, as well as a swell. Is this normal for my age range? I'm a bit nervous about this and will speak to my doctor soon. I dont know much about breast cancer at an early age like mine.

Yes, I'm pretty sure they can. :( I'll definitely keep you in my prayers that you don't have it, but you should check with your doctor asap.

Yes.

They can, but it is very, very rare indeed. Fewer than 0.1% of all those diagnosed with breast cancer are under 30, and only 5% are under 40, and most (50%) are over 50. And pain is rarely a symptom of breast cancer; most people diagnosed with it have felt no pain. You are doing the right thing seeing your doctor; this will almost certainly put your mind at ease. Good luck
