I’m 14 years old, at school. Recently i have felt lumps in my breasts. I’m quite big for my age. 34D. also, my nipples are like a funny color. When someone hugs me the pain is unbearable. Ive read symptoms on the internet, and i have a few. Ive been really worrying. I cant tell my mum, because her mum died of breast cancer, and i’m scared she will get upset. Also i’m too scared to go to the doctors. what should i do?

oh bless you, as you say you are vey young and its quite possibly linked to hormone changes in your body , ie periods etc, do you have a close family friend that can help you, if not im sure your mum would rather know and be able to help you

charcharchar,
Lots of us on here are mums, and I think that your mum would want to know. We mums are a lot stronger than our daughters think, and the most important thing is the well being of our children.
You really should tell your mum, and go to the doctors together. It is probably your age, hormones etc. You may be young, but I am sure you will worry just like everyone else who comes to this site.

Hi Sweet heart
Please tell your mum i am sure she will be fine. It is more lightly to be hormones at your age…i can remember my breast being really tender at your age. Your mum would want you to talk with her…go on.

Hello!
Your message made me want to comfort you.
I have a daughter, who although she is only 6 at the mo, if she had worries like yours when she is older, I would want her to tell me so we could get it sorted out.
I have just been through a bc scare myself, but luckily all was well with me, as I am sure it will be for you.
Tell your mum, she will want to help.
please let us know how you get on
big love

Hello honey
like all the others here, I would say talk to your mum - she probably knows you are worried about something and she will want to hold you and look after you. My daughter is 22 now, but I remember so well how things were for her at 14 and how I felt about her, I do believe your mum will want to be there for you and it will be a big relief for you, once you have told her.
This is scary for you and I hope you soon get it all sorted out. I will be thinking about you - I think we all will
please let us know how you get on
love, monica xxx
