Too Young For Breast Cancer?

[durgaaa]

Always, ALWAYS get a second and then a THIRD opinion. Dont' be concerned that you are paying money for more opinions. Doctors and clinicians are ALWAYS getting it wrong! Follow your own body suspicion. I suspected cancer in a mole in 1986, had it observed in a women's clinic; was told it was nothing-then 1989 I had it observed AGAIN by a skin specialist and got the malignant melanoma diagnosis ! I waited too long and now have a HUGE hole in my leg instead of a single scar. Don't wait too long !

I am 19, in college and I found a breast lump in my right breast while checking if there was a spider on me. Odd story, we have an infestation of brown recluse spiders at home. Now hours away and again in college I have to balance school, work, and getting my tumor biopsied and diagnosed. My doctor at home brushed it off and said it was a Fibroadenoma. My body says it's far more serious. I am going to push until I have answers! Very traumatic not knowing if it's cancer yet.

I was 16 when I found a lump. I was misdiagnosed and it took 10 months before I was correctly diagnosed with Hodgdkin's Disease (a highly curable type of lymphoma, lymph node cancer). After treatment for that (radiation), when I was 35 I had breast cancer. My advice is to trust your instincts. If your body is telling something isn't right, keep *pushing* your doctors until you get an answer. Of course no doc suspects BC or Hodgkin's in a teen, but it happens. Persistence is the key.

@EDS9090 Most breast lumps are benign.  If it's still there in two weeks, have your doctor check it. But don't worry too much in the meantime.

Adrienne is my sister. I am so proud of her. After six months she finally got a diagnosis. I hate that she has breast cancer, but I am glad that she didnt give up & she is still with us today. No matter your age, take care of yourself & listen to your body. Adrienne-youre my hero!
