My mum got breast cancer at 35, her sister then got it at 39. I have found 2 lumps which are in exact same place as my aunties and am scared this could be cancer. Have been to GP who has referred me to Breast clinic. I'm scared im never going to be able to be a mother! Can anyone help or let me know what they think? Thanks

Yes cancer atk and age doesn't matter

yes... but if you have cancer try to resolve that issue first. You cant get chemotherapy if you are pregnant.

having breast cancer, and surviving it, does not mean that you cannot become a mother. i know many people that have had babies after surviving cancer. perhaps you might not be able to breastfeed- you would have to check with your doctor on that one- but you will still be able to get pregnant. lets hope and pray that they only find cysts, and you will be ok-ok? God bless.

Don't get yourself too worked up...wait to see what the Dr.s and tests have to say. Even if the lumps are cancerous, you could still very well have children someday! Again - please calm down and take it one step at a time. Write a list of all your questions and worries, take it to your Dr. when you see her/him next and pose those questions to them. They are the experts for a reason. I wish you the best of luck!!

the thing with hving kids while you have cancer is the damage that the chemo can do to a fetus while inside your body. I think it was christina applegate who was diagnosed with breast cancer and is delaying chemo treatment (even though it may kill her) so she can protect her fetus from the chemo. Also, many many women have natural hard spots inside their breasts, its simply a mass of the tissue tht a bit harder than the fatty outer breast. Ease your fears and get a mammogram, the sooner its detected the better chance you have of coming out of it healthy. also keep in mind that mothers do not have to be biologically related to the children that they raise. if you really want to be a mother there are plenty of kids who need families out there.

I found a lump at age 17 and was scared, too. It was not cancer and I lived with the lump for several years before I decided to have it removed for my own piece of mind. The MOST important thing is to get to the doc and get an early diagnosis. It is easier to treat something small, than to wait to long and allow it grow. I have known people that have gone through the entire treatment process and had children after that. It is definitely possible! It is very natural to be scared and concerned and to have a zillion questions. Take it one step and one decision at a time. Only God knows our future. All we can do is take the best possible care of ourselves as we can. I pray for your health and a good result to your upcoming testing. Hugs and best wishes!!!

Do not panic , there are so many break throughs in the research of cancer and treatments less that 15% of woman who have breast cancer need chemotherapy. You should also research fibroid tumors. that is what I had when I was diagnosed incorrectly best wishes and GOD BLESS
