Some of the time it just happens. Maybe caused by naturely or sometime's by how you take care of your body like the kind's of food you ear, exercise, stuff like that. It could also happen by accidentally bruzing like something or someone hiting the puppy. Make sure you get those mamograms on a yearly basis... Dr Checko... (Nickname)

get to a doctor imediately, the longer u wait with cancer, the worse things get. Cancer is cured by early detection and treatment.

Your chances are slightly higher but it is very uncommon to have breast cancer at such a young age. Learn  to administer self check ups. Here is a good site to learn all about it from. Although you don't have much to worry about but you might want to have professional check ups earlier around 30's or so.\nhttp://www.komen.org/intradoc-cgi/idc_cgi_isapi.dll?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=480

You can prevent cancer in many ways, since the disease is originated in a tendency to have it. You can prevent or at least slow down probabilities of having it. Eating healthy food is a quite good way to do it.

That depends on which doctors you ask. The traditionalists will always be as aggressive as possible against the cancer. They won't want to take any chances. YOu might go to a clinic that specializes in natural ways to treat cancer and see what they say. I don't blame you for not wanting to take Tamoxifen. My mother had a lumpectomy and radiation. She didn't have to take Tamoxifen. But I can't remember what the lab results for her cancer were.

Yes it can because my mom's friend had breast cancer, and so did her own mom and grandma.

Yes, I know for a fact that men can get breast cancer. But usually they refuse to be tested for it, and it turns fatal. Trust me, You are going to have to go to the doctor if you are having any of the following symptoms..\n\n1) Any discharge from your nipple.\n2) Any lumps or bumps that aren't normal.\n3) Any swelling of the affected breast.\n4) Usually there is no pain affecting the breast if it is \n   cancer, but if you are having pain, there could many \n   reasons, among them cancer. Usually there is no pain, but\n   you should get checked if you have pain in your breast.\n\nFor you family, for yourself, for anyone, for YOU mostly, you are going to have to go to the doctor. I have a Daddy who refuses to go, and I'm watching him die, very very slowly, every day there is something else with him. Now, being a nurse, I can call his doctor and request certain medications, but not everything he needs, nor can I make him go to the doctor as he is frightened of what they may find. So, PLEASE, SWALLOW YOUR DAMN PRIDE, AND GO!! Hopefully you'll find that there isn't anything, but you have to see a doc to find out. Good Luck and GOD BLESS YOU!

no\n\nbreast cancer is a disease that is caused by hormones stimulating the growth of cancerous cells in breast tissue. sometimes changes in DNA in the normal breast tissue can also cause cancer.\n\nthis horrible disease is largely genetic too-so if someone if your family had it-there is a chance you can get it too.\n\nwhat type of bra you where has nothing to do with it. \n\ncertain types of foods can help reduce your risk of getting it though. foods that are soy-rich,broccoli,spinach,and green tea are some of the things that can help reduce your risk...

Men with breast cancer have a higher mortality rate than women with breast cancer, simply because they usually delay diagnosis/treatment for the simple fact that many do not realize they can get breast cancer.  \n\nSymptoms include:\n\n* breast lumps\n* breast or nipple pain\n* nipple inversion\n* nipple discharge\n* change in breast or nipple appearance\n\nMen can get this disease at any time in their lives, though it is most commonly diagnosed in older men.

Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that has developed from cells of the breast. A malignant tumor is a group of cancer cells that may invade surrounding tissues or spread (metastasize) to distant areas of the body.

Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that has developed from cells of the breast. A malignant tumor is a group of cancer cells that may invade surrounding tissues or spread (metastasize) to distant areas of the body.  \n\nThe female breast is made up mainly of lobules (milk-producing glands), ducts (milk passages that connect the lobules to the nipple), and stroma (fatty tissue and connective tissue surrounding the ducts and lobules, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels). \n\nMost breast cancers begin in the cells that line the ducts (ductal), some in the cells that line the lobules (lobular), and the rest in other tissues.

Straight up from someone who has been there/done that, you need to get to the doctor. Despite what a lot of people think, it IS possible for a cancerous lump to be painful and there's no way of knowing what any lump is without having it checked out. s\n\nTruthfully, it's probably nothing...most breast lumps are begnin anomolies like cysts (which are painful), etc. However, the sooner you have it checked out the better off you will be. If it's nothing, you'll be able to stop worrying and get on with your life and if it's cancer, you'll have a much better chance at having a successful treatment and recovery the sooner you start treatment.

Drink lots of water, plenty of sleep, limit sun exposure, regular pap smears and self breast exams, take a calcium supplement, maintain good diet and exercise.  Probably all the stuff your mama has been telling you throughout your teenage years, but she's right.

Researchers and doctors just don't know enough yet about breast cancer to prevent it, but there are some things you can do to lower your risk.\n\nThe first step is to know your own risk factors and to keep those in mind (family history for example).  The other is to take good care of yourself (lose weight if you are obese, make informed choices about medications, etc).\n\nGet regular screenings, talk to your doctor.  Someone who is intimately aware of your personal medical history is going to have a lot better advice than any third party website.
