I'm 20 can i get breast cancer and also i'm obese is this why my breast are very big?

Breast Cancer: Your obesity may well be related to your larger breast size. It would be quite rare to develop breast cancer at age 20. Is there a strong family history of breast cancer? Has genetic testing shown you to be at increased risk?

Agree with Dr. F: You need to maintain a healthy weight and have eating and exercise habits to promote general health. Fixation with just breast cancer is not helpful. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
