Honest answer needed about cancer!

A place to chat about anything thats not football related. Most of the threads in here are completely pointless which is why people keep coming back and back. As the forum title suggests, feel free to make any post you want on any subject you wish. It also has Adult jokes (so be warned) which is the other reason people keep coming back.

Honest answer needed about cancer!

Can 16 year olds get breast cancer even though they aint fully developed yet? as Sarah at school said today she thinks she has breast cancer and me and my mate kinda laughed as we thought it was a joke but then were getting slated by her mates for taking p*ss so i feel sligtly guilty so can she get it?

Yeah she can get it at her age. She needs to get herself checked out.

Yes, tell her to get to doctors ASAP as a matter of urgency.

Better to be safe than sorry. I hope everything turns out ok for her.

Dudes can get breast cancer too, so I supposed anybody can at any age. At 16, however it would be highly unlikely. Still, get her to the Doc ASAP for her own peace of mind if nothing else.

I agree. It is unlikely at her age but not impossible.
Tell her to get it checked out for her own peace of mind.

Tell her not to p*ss about and get her backside to the Doc ASAP.
Sorry for language but it is relevant here.
If she has found a lump, odds are that it is benign, but it is not worth the risk to leave it and in any case if she did leave it, then just the worry of not knowing could make her ill on it's own. I had to go through something very similar with my girlfiend when she was 18 ( married 30 years now)and it is NOT easy. It is very difficult to persuade someone to get something checked out when the result could be life threatening.
If this young lady has a lump then in all probability it is a cyst, BUT it still needs checking.
If she is making the whole thing up, as some do, then she needs ******* ***** ***** (censored by poster), otherwise get her moving NOW.
