Just wondering.

Certainly not to belittle the disease, but I don’t know the catalyst to breast cancer. I know why cancer is a big issue relative to smoking cigarettes. Is this a genetic issue is something in the water, so to speak? A very close friend of mine suffered this, but it is not the easiest set of questions to raise. Please inform.

pain in left breast, is breast cancer possible at age 19?

I was working on the shed in our old house, sorting and lifting things for our upcoming yard sale, and when I got home last night, I took a shower, and went to bed. It took me a while to get to sleep, and when I got up to get a drink of water before going to sleep, I felt a sharp pain in my lower left breast, right where the breast and rest of the body meet. It’s also in the whole lower half of my left breast. I noticed that it’s just as sore today. And when I felt it, it felt like there was a lump in the lower part, where the pain is. Does this sound like breast cancer or just a pulled muscle? Should I be worried? I’m a slight hypocondriac about certain things, so I’m a little worried. Should I be? Anyway, is it possible to get breast cancer at age 19?

Breast Cancer at age 20?

Sat, 06 Aug 2011 23:47:51 +0000

Today my younger sister was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 20. We are all very frightened. It has been a long day. Can anyone share their experiences with me? I know it is very rare that someone her age gets this disease, but it does happen. I have done my own research and it is frightening what is said about younger women getting breast cancer. She just graduated from college with a degree in graphic design and does not have health insurance. On her behalf I would like for anyone to tell me the names of non-profit organizations as well that could help us out as a family. Keep us in your prayers. maybe even support groups of young people dealing with this disease and other forms of diseases. God bless and thank you!

Customize starting age, frequency of mammograms
SAN FRANCISCO — Mammograms should not be done on a one-size fits all basis, but instead should be personalized based on a woman’s age, the density of her breasts, her family history of breast cancer and other factors including her own values.
