Hi Rae, anything is possible but your symptons are highly unlikely. However, stop torturing yourself and go and see your Doctor.Wink

Rae, please read our letter to teens, which addresses the probability of you having breast cancer - I think it'll help allay your fears. Clearly you're somewhat stressed by this, however; so as Ironside said, why not just go see the doctor? Worry and fear accomplish nothing; action gets you somewhere. So make the call - and good luck.
