Help! I am 15 and a while a go I found a pea sized hard lump in my breast. My GP told me to wait a month or until after my period (my periods are very irregular and always have been) and see if it was still there. I did end up getting my period after the month, so I went back and it was still there. She has referred me somewhere or something to get an ultrasound or something, but I forgot to tell her that I had this pain for a while before, in the same breat but above my nipple and closer to the armpit, like I couldn't pinpoint where it was but that whole top left area had this dull pain. I thought it went away so I didn't say anything but today it has come back and the whole area also feels really hard when I press down (by the way this area covers about three inches,l) but it feels like my normal breast on the other side. What if I have really fast spreading cancer and I am going to die? I don't want to live for just five years, I want to live a longer life than that. I'm so scared what if I have breast cancer?! What if it spreads to my lymph nodes? It's like a horrible story you hear but never think it will apply to you and now I am having a panic attack.
I know I haven't been diagnosed but the 'young age' section seemed to fit.
