As a 3 year survivor, I can say if you find something, demand a biopsy. I was told mine was not cancer and I was stage 3C with 14 positive nodes. I demanded a biopsy and had treatment. Now I have cancer again. Many of the survivors I talk to had the same experience. Not all cancers show up on the mammogram so check, check, check!

Most people taking Taxotere chemotherapy experience hair loss given that chemotherapy drugs act on rapidly dividing cells such as the cancer cells, and cells that produce hair. The extent and location of the hair loss varies from person to person. Hair generally grows back after all Taxotere treatments are completed so you may want to check with your oncologist or even the drug manufacturer for more info on permanent loss. I am sorry if you are going through this.

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 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.

self exam and other forms of exams/tests are not prevention!
they are early detection!
prevention is what you can do to NOT get cancer, e.g. avoid toxins like petrochemicals (e.g. in body care products) hormones (e.g. contraceptives), certain metals (aluminum in antiperspirants), also avoid X-ray exposure (e.g. mammograms!), do not even look at genetically modified foods (harder and harder to do) etc. etc. etc.

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

Rick Simpson … “Hemp Oil Cures Cancer”

Dr. Melamede … “Cannabinoids kill Cancer Cells”

Dr. Di Marzo … “THC exhibits anti – tumor effects on various Cancer Cell types”

SETH Group … “Herbal (THC) compound kills brain Cancer Cells – but not normal brain cells.”

Dr. Guzman … “THC can promote the autophagic death of human and mouse Cancer Cells”

Dr. Mechoulam … “we gave THC oil drops 400 times to children 1 -13 years old with Cancer & prevented vomiting & nausea 100%”

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

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.

You shall have no other gods
You shall not lie
You shall not murder
You shall not commit adultery
You shall not steal
it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the JUDGEMENT:
whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the LAKE OF FIRE.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father,but by me
that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord SHAL BE SAVED
ARE YOU SAVED?

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. "

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.
