Very, very unlikely: Many of the symptoms associated with breast cancer (a lump, pain, discharge) are also caused by common conditions. That being said, go see your health care provider to find out what is going on.

< 1 in a Million: The statistical probability of getting breast cancer as a teenager is lower than the odds of winning the lottery. Breast cancer rates increase the older you are, and are rarely seen before the 30's. However, if you have a palpable lump and/or a strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer, please see your primary care doctor or gynecologist.
