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.

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