A few nights ago I found a lump on my left breast near my armpit. I am super scared. My mother and my sister know. Next week I will attend the doctor. But I am freaking out. I want to tell my friends, but I do not want them to worry. What should I do?

    That's up to you, of course. If you choose to tell them, let them know that your risk of breast cancer is so low its virtually zero. ZERO. Tell them that young women are often affected by lumps, bumps, and rashes that are BENIGN. Let them know that although your chances of this being cancer is all but non-existent, you are being proactive about your health by having it checked. Well done!
