Will I get breast cancer if my breast get hit a lot

Will I get breast cancer if my breast get hit a lot?
I am an athletic girl and I tend to play a lot of basketball and other sports. As i play these sports, my boobs either get smacked by the ball or a player accidentally hits them. I just played basketball a day ago and well the basketball hit my breast at least 5 times and my friend jerked it a couple of times too. I'm really scared. Will they grow smaller? Will they get bigger? Will i get breast cancer? what's going to happen?

First of all, cancer starts in cells, so no, you won't get breast cancer. It's not going to affect your breast growth unless you're not wearing a proper bra, either. :)

No, but you should get padded bras! Ouch!

Repeated injury to the breast will not increase your chances of breast cancer. Cancer occurs through damage to the genetic information within your cells. That being said it is not a good idea to sustain repeated blows to the breasts as it can cause chronic inflammation and fat necrosis. Protect your breasts as much as you possibly can. As far as breast size is concerned, your breasts will never grow bigger nor smaller with repeat injury. Any swelling or tenderness experienced is due to trauma associated with being hit
