breast cancer

im 16 and worried if i have it, should i get checked or is it unlikely i would, it doesn't run in the family

  • Hello and thanks for your post,

    Breast cancer at 16 is very unusual. It is much more common in women in there 50's and 60's. If you have any concerns about any breast symptoms then do make an appointment with your GP so hopefully they will be able to reassure you.

    You may find it reassuring to read the information written by the charity Breast Cancer Now on breast symptoms in teenagers. Have a look here

    Hope this helps.

    All the Best,

    Catherine
