Breast Cancer as a Teenager

I suppose the title says it all, but I am fourteen and have been diagnosed with breast cancer; I have also have been told that they cannot operate until 16, or perform a mammogram until 16 either... fighting a losing battle against my own body I suppose?

  • Hi, sorry to hear this, you are very young to be diagnosed with BC, can you tell me how this was diagnosed? im not a dr but i believe its not possible to diagnose BC without a Mammogram, or a Biopsy, how was it found? even if you have a noticable lump it would need to be taken out or biopsied to have an accurate diagnosis, im very confused as to why they wont operate or do a Mammogram?....breast cancer must be treated immediately, its very unwise to wait so i dont get why this is the case for you....can you give more information? all the best to you.
