Please don't be sorry - it's good you're being proactive about trying to figure out your health issues. We're a breast cancer site, manned by breast cancer survivors (not doctors); so we're really not qualified or able to address all of your concerns. However, tenderness/soreness in both breasts is usually a hormonal issue, related to your period. Your doctor is probably right; if you can get your menstrual cycle straightened out, it's possible your breast issue will take care of itself, too.

That said - feeling thickness in your breast might ordinarily call for tests to determine what's causing it. It's most likely fibrocystic change, which is very common in young women. Since it's in both breasts, and you're extremely young for a cancer diagnosis, it would be very, very unlikely to be cancer-related. Still, if you're worried, you might find out if you could get a mammogram, which could help rule cancer out.

As for the lump below your collarbone - again, this might be fibrocystic change, and it could be a cyst. This is something you should point out to your doctor, if you haven't already; an ultrasound test could tell you whether this lump is a cyst. If it isn't, you should probably have a mammogram.

Good luck - I hope you get all of this straightened out soon. PJH

Dearest Sister: with all of these issues presenting themselves you should definately see a gynogocologist to help you resolve all the issues your dealing with....some of them could be normal for your body, everyone is different when it comes to what they feel under the skin, that is why we should do regular breast exams to become familiar with our own body features under the skin to tell if there is any changes going on there. But, there are many things you spoke about that you should refer to a doctor for and not rely on answers over the internet. These issues need to be seen and looked at by a physician to know how to treat your issues. I know how you feel about sounding like a hypochondriac though...I bare alot of health problems myself and when I try to explain my health issues I feel like I sound the same way too!! And it's not cuz I'm a hypochondriac either....I just really have alot of health troubles in my life right now and it can become overwhelming and sometimes feels hopeless for answers, I never know where to start and so many issues get pushed aside to the back burner when more serious issues present themselves. So, deal with the most irritating and most serious problem first and go from there. But I would say a gynocologist would be very helpful for many of your problems right now,...you may get some answers sooner by making an appt. with one. Sometimes its unavoidable to go and see the doctor.,,,this is one of those times I believe. Best luck to you and I hope you find many answers soon.
