It makes me so happy to know that there are other people out there who care about finding a cure! Visit http://www.curebreastcancer.org when you get a chance. This organization was founded by Dr. Bodai, who created the breast cancer stamp, and has since gone back to Congress in an effort to allow the continuation of the stamp. He is awesome, and that web site should offer a plethora of information and resources. Thank you fo being a part of the fight against Breast Cancer.

Breast cancer and breast tissue cancer is the same thing there is no difference. From 1975 to 2000 1.3 in every one million 15-19 year olds were diagnosed with breast cancer. It is very unlikely your friend has breast cancer if she is only 15 years old.

I had a lumpectomy and nodes removed. After surgery I locked in a coma for 5 hours. Came out but still didn’t move or talk for 4 days. Anaethesia was more scary for me than the surgery. Recovery went fine. Should I ever have to do it again, just give me a bottle of whiskey, please.

Breast cancer is sometimes harder to detect because of breast mass, or self breast exams that are incorrectly done or not done at all. Even though there are symptoms such as puckering of nipple, change in breast skin texture, these dont always present themselves. Therefore many women dont know they have it because the signs are not obvious. With lung and colon cancer there are usually more pronounced chances that will alert someone to seek help such as change in bowel habit, rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, persistent cough, breathing problem, etc. Women need to be educated about the cause, elearly detection of breast cancer because its so hard to detect sometimes and thats why extra effort is put into educating the public about it.

I think that breast cancer is one of the most supported diseases in North America, in publicity, support and fundraising. You can apply the comments in the question to a number of diseases and I thank you for writing them.

But I am currently supporting other cancer research and I am discouraged by the extended commercial aspects of breast cancer awareness from changing my priorities.

Please ask to be referred for a mammogram, and let the radiologsist decide if it should be biopsied. Even cysts can be biopsied–the fluid drained and sent to a lab. Just to be sure. I had a cyst drained and it was so easy.

I am not sure what you mean in lump types.
It is very common for cancer to spread to lymph nodes. Especially in the breast tissue. Lymph nodes are usually extracted during the mascetomy and if cancer is present, radiation and/or chemo is also a common practice.

Basically, Chemo kills off all cells. Good and bad. The person usually feels really tired and horribly sick. Their immune system ( the system that protects from disease and virus) is severly depressed. People with colds or infections should say away from her. She will not have a defense system to fight off the simplest cold.
Just be there for your friend, let her know that you are there for her, But at the same time keep your distance if she needs time to morn her loss.
Please dont ever say you know how she feels, because unless you have been through it, you dont.
Also, sometimes the best communications is to be silent. Allow your friend to talk, just comfort her.
I hope all works out for her and I will keep her in my prayers

Inflamatory breast cancer is most likely:
"Although most breast cancers begin as lumps or tumors, inflammatory breast cancer usually starts with a feeling of thickness or heaviness in the breast."
"Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer. According to the National Cancer Institute, about 1-5% of all breast cancer cases in the United States are inflammatory breast cancers."

Otherwise, try Invasive Lobular Carcinoma,
"In other cases, the first sign of ILC is a thickening or hardening in the breast that can be felt, rather than a distinct lump."
"About 10% of all invasive breast cancers are invasive lobular carcinomas. "

The chances of a 13 year old having breast cancer are very, very, very close to zero; the chances of having it in both breasts at once is much lower than that.

What your friend is experiencing is normal hormonal development.

Breast cancer is almost unheard of in people under 25. Of all the people diagnosed with breast cancer, fewr than 0.1% are under 30. It's very rare in people under 40, and most cases (80%) are in women over 50.

Most breast lumps, even in women over 50, are not cancerous. Pain is rarely a sign of breast cancer – the overwhelming majority of those diagnosed have felt no pain.

Tell your friend to talk to her mother about this – she will be able to reassure her. If she doesn't feel comfortable doing that, she should talk to her school nurse when school reopens; she will be used to girls having worries like this and will be able to reassure her she doesn't have breast cancer

Well, it is possible, but it would be rather rare. More than likely, the pain is due to hormones and puberty. I had the same thing at that age. Is the lump around your nipple? If so, that is very common.
