I think I might have cancer?!


Question: I think I might have cancer.?
Well, I'm 13. I've been doing a self breast examination daily, and I've noticed since I was like in 6th grade that I have a big lump, which I'm sure is just like a disc or something because it's in my whole breast, on both. But lately I've been feeling maybe a different bump. I'm not sure if I'm overreacting because my moms friend got diagnosed about a month ago. But there is also a red vain-like mark going from about an inch from my nipple to the outer part of my nipple. It's not rough or a different texture or anything. It's just there. I mean, there isn't any pain. And I've kinda always had a little while, milk-like liquid come out and dry up, but it's only in the morning, before I shower. After that, it's fine. There isn't any blood or anything. I looked up breast cancer, and I looked at the symptoms. I mean, I might have a bump, but I'm not sure. And I think the mark may have been there since 6th grade, too. I can't remember. I'm in 8th grade now, by the way. It's just been bugging me for a while, and I don't want to get diagnosed like 20 years from now because I didn't sooner. Is it possible for my age.? Please respond. I hope I'm just overreacting. I need to know soon. I've been feeling fine, by the way.Health Question & Answer
