    Jilldays, a quick glance at your Q&A suggests to me that you're young, possibly school age - forgive me if I'm wrong.

    I don't know why you're asking this question, but you need to know that the chances of breast cancer in a teenager are close to zero. It's mainly a disease of ageing - 80% of those diagnosed are over 50 (the average age for diagnosis is 60) and only around 5% are under 40.

    Fewer than 0.1% of all those diagnosed with breast cancer are under 30, and it's almost unheard of in under 20s.

    The American Cancer Society and other cancer organisations recommend that women begin breast self-examination at the age of 20.

    At the age I'm assuming you are, your breasts are still growing and developing; every day on this board there are questions from teenage girls who are terrified they have breast cancer because of perfectly normal hormonal changes.

    Of course it may be that you are asking on behalf of someone older; early breast cancer usually has no symptoms at all. Symptoms of possible breast cancer are:

    change in size - one breast may have become noticeably larger or lower

    nipple change - if it becomes inverted (pulled in) or changes its position or shape

    rash - on or around the nipple

    discharge - from one or both nipples

    puckering or dimpling - around nipple

    swelling – in your armpit or around your collarbone (from lymph nodes)

    lump or thickening - that feels different from the rest of the breast tissue - BUT remember that most breast lumps are not cancerous

    These are changes that an adult woman should be looking out for and reporting. In a teenager any changes to the breast are almost certainly hormonal
