The Early Detection Plan is a reminder system that will remind the participant to perform month self check exams, annual doctor administered exams, and periodic mammograms. The frequency of the mammograms will be dependent upon your age, your personal history and family history of breast cancer.

Has anyone had a recurrence in a previous mastectomy ? An identical tumor came back 10!yrs later in the tissue surrounding an implant where my left breast had been. Next week I will have a re mastectomy, followed by radiation and more chemo.

Can you get breast cancer even if you don't have developed breasts yet?

I am thinking that if you don't have breasts yet you are very young and probably too young to get breast cancer but if you have anything that concerns you speak to your mother or your doctor.

When your breast are starting to develop you start to get "breast buds". The areola (darkened nipple) area start to swell and is tender to touch this is normal development of puberty. Any time you have concerns about your body you should talk to you mom or another adult and ask questions. ...

I had an MRI done and they ruled one side benign and the other "probably" benign with no biopsy and want me to wait 6 months. Should I worry?

What type of doctor did you see? I would ask someone experienced with breast cancer, personally. Also age doesn't matter- I was 35 when diagnosed. Usually a 6 month wait is to see if nodule/growth grows/changes. Were there tumors? be sure to tell doctor of any family history too.

I saw my family doctor. I want to get a second opinion though, she hasn't really told me anything that's going on. She also didn't tell me where the things were found. The lumps are near the outside toward the armpit, but the questionable one is near the 6oclock area.

How painful is a biopsy?

It really depends on the type of biopsy you're having performed. I had a core needle biopsy done. They deadened the area first and it wasn't painful....just a little uncomfortable that's all. I had to hold my arm above my head for a little while and it was sore. It was worth it finding my cancer...

It was worth it finding my cancer so I could begin treatment. :)

It depends on where the biopsy is located. I would arrange for a driver. I had 3 done- 2 in breast, 1 in lymph node. Lymph node area has more nerve endings and tends to be more painful area, but mine was ok. I had a hemotobin from first breast tumor biopsied, so that hurt. That's an atypical...
Comment 1It depends on where the biopsy is located. I would arrange for a driver. I had 3 done- 2 in breast, 1 in lymph node. Lymph node area has more nerve endings and tends to be more painful area, but mine was ok. I had a hemotobin from first breast tumor biopsied, so that hurt. That's an atypical experience though. The other 2 did not hurt. The anesthetic shot was worse than the biopsy. Good luck!

Absolutely have this checked. My breast where breast cancer was found felt "weird." This is NOT to say you have breast cancer at all. For your own peace of mind have this checked. Take care, Sharon

Cancer can be sneaky...have it checked out soon. I couldn't even feel my cancer and it was found on a mammogram. Keep us updated and prayers for you.

First let me state: I am 12. I was about to get in the shower and saw one of my breast was bigger than the other, so I felt it as I felt a lump. Is it even possible for me to get cancer? If so- what should I do?

It is scary to find a lump'. How brave of you to seek help! Most likely the lump is not cancer. It is common to have one breast larger than the other. However, please share this with your mom or woman you trust. For peace of mind , it is best to get it checked out by a doctor. Please keep...

Go to talk to your Mom. There are lots of little lumpy things that are not even related to cancer.
