Jocelyn, breast cancer at your young age is EXTREMELY rare, and lumps and bumps in your growing breasts are EXTREMELY common. Congratulations for being aware of changes in your breasts, though. Perhaps you should see the doctor for a physical, and (s)he can explain to you just what's going on: what the bumps come from, and how they might change as you grow. Plus (s)he could be sure there's nothing for you to worry about. OK? Good luck - PJH
