Get to the doctor fast. There is a good chance it is nothing, but it it is something you def. want to catch it sooner than later. Dont hesitate. You are not going to be able to tell if it is or isnt without a test. Be strong and go to the doc.

if the lump u feel in ur breast is so huge and hard, then that could be cancer. but better still, see a doctor, to act as soon as possible before it grows into a different thing.

Go to the doctor!! And stop all this drama crap about needing to "noe" if you have cancer before you tell your mom you do. Grow up and tell your mom in a calm, mature way that you need to go to the doctor. You should be having yearly gyno exams anyway, and your gyno should be checking your breasts for abnormalities at that time.

The only way to tell is to go to a doctor. If they suspect cancer they will do a biopsy to make sure. Milk glands can sometime swell causing lumps and some women have knotty feeling tissues in their breast all non-cancerous. You might just have a cyst that will probably rupture on its own, but once again only a doctor can tell you for sure.

You must get to the Doctor immediately, If you dont go and its because if you are scared please don't be because this could be quiet serious, also it depeneds on your age...Lumps could be part of your body growing...But dont just asume this get to the doctors ASAP to make sure your ok and remember that the sooner you catch it the easier it is to get rid of... Best of luck <3 Your in my prayers

It is not possible for you to know without seeing a doctor.... Your mum is right, its normal to find lumps in the breast but if its particularly defined and hard then you should see a doctor. Even then it maybe benign, not cancerous. The doctor can only tell after tests have been done.

only the doctor can tell if its cancerous, though can check the lumps by standing in front of mirror then have one arm elevated then the unelevated hand massage your breast in circular inward motion. feel the lumps if it is movable or not, if its movable and soft, then in can be just a cyst. and if its painful. does your lumps have any changes from the previous characteristics of it? if yes, immediately see a doctor. there's no other way to find out by having it check up by doctor and have lab workouts to do

my advise to you do self breast examination immediately after taking a bath.
9 :
my moms crazy too... just go to the health department in your area and they have to see you... go ASAp!!

You don't know without consulting your doctor. You need a mammography or a scan to tell. Don't delay. I delayed and nearly delayed too long. If diagnosed early breast cancer can be cured quite easily. If you delay it can still be cured but you take a longer road. Take some advice from someone who has been along this path. See your doctor!!!!!!
