Are these lumps likely to be caused by caffeine?

I have lumps in both breasts. One of them in my left breast is large. It around the size of a marble, very hard and round. The other ones in my right breast aren't as hard but they're not really soft either.

I've had a had a large amount of caffeine the last year. I've slowed way down, but I was drinking 2-3 cups of strong coffee and one whole Dr-pepper a day for months, before slowing down this month to around half a cup a coffee a day.

I am only 26 and I know this is a young age to have breast cancer, but I think I have several risk factors. My Grandmother died of lung cancer. I live with two smokers, and my cat has been spraying around the house for a couple of years. Is exposure to urine a risk factor?


(I won't go into all my personal business, but the cat issue is not my fault, and she has a appointment later this month to get spayed.)

    All questions to ask your doctor when you go get yourself checked out, but no, I never heard of cat pee causing breast cancer

    Funny - the OB/GYN that I saw (for the first time) started to lecture me about lumpy breasts and caffeine before he even examined me. Then he quickly changed his attitude to insisting I go for a diagnostic mammo that same day. So I guess the lumps maybe do feel different.
