It's beyond unlikely.
Breast cancer is almost unheard of in under 25s and fewer than 0.1% of those diagnosed with it are under 30. It's rare in women under 40 - only 5% of those diagnosed - and most of those diagnosed with it (80%) are over 50.
When I was diagnosed with Breast cancer, I was allocated to the breast care nurse whose special interest was 'breast cancer in younger women'; I was 50.
Reading internet lists of the symptoms of any condition will make you think you have it. Early breast cancer has no symptoms; what symptoms do you think you have?
If it's a lump you're worried about, most breast lumps, even in older women, aren't cancer - over 80% of breast lumps investigated are benign.
If you are really concerned, see a doctor; but remember the chances of you having breast cancer are almost non-existent.
