Hello Kai272727 and thanks for posting, 

I am sorry to learn about your health worries and how much this is affecting you.

Breast cancer in teenage girls is extremely rare so just for this reason I think it is a very unlikely explanation for your symptoms. Another charity Breast Cancer Now explains this more, follow this link to see what they say. 

Most girls and women worry if they notice a symptom that might be due to breast cancer - but remember these can occur for other reasons. The best thing to do is to see the doctor to get checked out. Hopefully, this will put your mind at rest so you can stop worrying about it.

Worrying and keeping this to yourself won't help - most likely it will make you worry more and more, so do pluck up the courage to share this with an adult you trust.

I am sure your parents/guardians would want to know and they would be able to support you and help you to arrange a doctor's appointment.  Most adults have experienced some sort of health scare or another so I am sure they will understand your situation. You can also make a GP appointment yourself and ask to see a female doctor.   

Give us a call if we can help. Our number is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and we are around weekdays from 9-5. 

Best wishes, 

Julia

I'm going to text my nan about it tonight since it's awkward to talk about it in real life for me I know it shouldn't be but also I'm still scared because if I go to the doctor what will they do I don't know what will happen or how easy it is to get an appointment or even how to get one.  I hope if I do though that everything is normal because I've been sad all day and only eating about 650 calories which is pretty much a relapse because of this. :(

breast cancer is highly unlikely at your age lovely 

it would be better to tell your family as they can reassure you that it's probably nothing serious but msybe see a GP then you can rest and not worry anymore and start eating better and feeling better this is not going away until you address it my lovely xx 

good luck love Lara 

Hi Kai272727 and thanks for getting back to us.

It sounds like a good idea to text your nan about it, hopefully you were able to do this.

If you go and talk to a doctor about this they will probably want to examine you.  They will usually ask if you want a chaperone (someone in the room apart from the doctor to help you feel more comfortable).  You could ask a trusted adult or perhaps your nan to go with you if you are worried about going on your own.  You could also ask to see a female GP or even speak to the practice nurse.  

You can make a doctor's appointment by phoning your GP surgery, some doctors also have an online form you can fill in to say what the problem is.  You may find it easier to fill in the form rather than talk to someone on the phone to make an appointment.  You can usually find the form on you GP's website.

As my colleague Julia said, it is unusual for someone of your age to have breast cancer, but hopefully having a chat with your GP will help you to stop worrying about it.  You could also talk to them about your worries about eating and feeling sad.  

I hope this is helpful but do give us a call if you want to talk anything through.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Take care,

Rachel
