18 and a breast lump that hurts.

hi there, i wouldnt worry too much its not likely to be cancer because cancers not normally painful. also at ur age its more likely to be a fibrodema or something benign. it can be related to hormone changes. i think its only like 3% of people under 40 get b cancer. so breathe. x
