Q: im 24 yrs old, I found a lump on my right breast but it hurts abit. Its my time of the month so could it be breast caner?
Chances of this being breast cancer are very slim indeed. Breast cancer at your age is statistically rare; and the fact that you're having your period, and that the lump hurts, would point to it being a cyst, or fibroadenoma, or something else relatively harmless. Keep your eye on it; if it doesn't disappear within a month - or certainly if it seems to be growing quickly, then see a doctor, as you'll want to have it diagnosed and treated. Good luck - PJH
