No, calm down. Worry about it when your 25 - 50 years old.

if its close family ie mother grandmother auntie and if they were young when they got it then u may possibly be at higher risk but no doubt yr mother will be ensuring u get all the correct checks to make sure u dont have it. however 10 is too early i had breast cancer and was told my girls should be checked from age 20. hope this helps and pse stop worrying the size of yr boobs has nothing to do with it.

Its possible. But at your age, you have better chances of winning the lotto.

Odd. A week ago you were commiserating with a mother who was having difficulty breast feeding, saying you had had the same problem. At 10? Maybe you're just obsessed with breasts. Anyway, the chances of breast cancer at 10 are about as close to zero as you can get. A girl was diagnosed at 10, but it was a very rare form, more likely to occur in children rather than an 'adult' cancer, and the case made headlines world wide because of its EXTREME rarity. Breast cancer is almost unheard of in people under 20 and fewer than 0.1% of all those diagnosed with it are under 30. Only 5% of those diagnosed with breast cancer are under 40 and 80% are over 50. The average age at diagnosis is a little over 60. Whatever your age, breast size has nothing to do with breast cancer risk. And breast cancer that 'runs in the family' is very rare - only 5 - 10% of cases are hereditary.

You recently posted you had problems breast feeding. Are you a tad precocious
