Question
I saw on TV a show about Inflammatory Breast Cancer, So I checked it out. I'm a 16 yr old with DDD breasts and I was curious, it gives symptoms that I have but I've have them ever since I got into a D bra. Should I see if anything else pops up or should I go get it checked out?
Answer
Breast Cancer is serious and it is important to do monthly checks and catch it early, however, many women, especially women with large breasts, have "lumps" in their breasts that are normal, and it is a good idea to ask your doctor to do a breast exam with you, then you feel, so you learn what "normal" is for your breasts - then, if anything changes, you know to call her.
