note: found on a web site not my knowledge14-year-old Scared about Breast CancerQUESTION: I am only 14 years old, but I am really scared that I might have or get Breast cancer. How can I tell if I do or if I will have it later in life?
ANSWER: I am sorry that you are living with this anxiety. At age 14, your risk of getting breast cancer is practically zero. As you grow older and make your way through the ups and downs of adolescence, your breasts will be growing and responding in all kinds of new ways to the hormones in your body. All of these changes can be confusing-as well as exciting. Think over where your fear is coming from. If there is a lump in your breast or an area of concern, then ask your doctor to check it out for you. If you are worried by a friend or family member affected by the disease-your concern is a natural compassionate response to her suffering. You may feel overwhelmed by all of the information out there about breast cancer, at a time of your life when you want to enjoy your new figure and not be bombarded with this information. Whatever it is, talk it through with someone you trust, and help identify what will help you get more peace of mind.
