Hi - Having breast cancer at your age would be incredibly, incredibly rare. But anytime you find a new lump in your breast, and it doesn't go away, you should have it checked. It could be any number of things, most of which are NOT cancer. So, just for the sake of due diligence, best to make an appointment, OK? Good luck - PJH
