Im 16 and i think i have breast cancer. But i don’t have the courage to ask my Mom to take me to the doctor. ?
I have 3 symptoms and my mom is a really a prideful person we never go to the doctor for anything unless it is absolutely neccesary.
I have three symptoms and breast cancer on both sides of my family and my mom is really prideful and i don’t know how to ask her.
Breast Cancer is urgent as hell. If you don’t deal with it quick, you’ll die with your pride.
Go because it could be the difference between benign and malignant tumors. If your mom cant swallow her pride and take you to the doctor go yourself because this could be life threatening to you and she wont be very proud with you going for chemo every month and loosing your hair.
yeah. tell your mom u think you have breast cancer and see what she says.
Your mother’s voice is like a Genie.Normalerweise that you do not get the young, but it does not hurt check. Ah, anyway, not bad.
Na death. . .
you are 16 I doubt it is cancer in know way,it is your hormones and growing,but never let pride get in the way of any medical condition it could be fatal. So if you are worried see your MD to make sure everything is ok and no cyst are anything.
i agree with mspreda, if u think u have breast cancer dont stuff around with it go to the doctors get blood tests, mammogram and urine tests done even ultrasound’s dont be worried, ur mum will help u out if u tell her just dont joke around when u talk to her, pull her aside and sit her down and tell her that ur worried, worry about the age it happens earlier these days tell her, especially (if u’ve been hurt around there), she should pay attention
Potentially having cancer comes under that “absolutely necessary” category. Tell your mom your symptoms. She may think that a cold or the occasional pain needs to just be sucked up but this is definitely something different. Go to her. This is important.
The odds of you having breast cancer at 16 are very low. Lots of lumps are not cancer and not a problem. However, you should get any lump checked out.
Try talking to your mom first. You might be surprised. Try something like, “I know you would want me to come to you first if I was worried about my health so I have something to talk to you about. ”
If you can’t get your mom to take you, check out Planned Parenthood. They could work with you at a lower price than your doctor to check it out. Also you could find a low-cost or free clinic if you need one.
I don’t mean to undermine your feelings here, but statistically speaking teenage girls are unlikely to get breast cancer.
Still, if you have something that you feel needs to be checked out, by all means do it.
Check to see what you would have to do to go to the doctor on your own in your state. In mine, 16 is old enough, but it varies.
If you can’t make your own appointment, you’re going to have to go to your mom. She’ll have to swallow her pride. Tell her that you need to talk to someone about something you’re not comfortable discussing with her. She’s probably be so freaked out she’ll take you immediately. When you’re at the doctor, be calm and clear about what’s going on. They should be able to tell you what to do.
Good luck, my dear.
Nobody is too proud to go to the dr unless she’s on medicaid or uninsured and that makes her shameful of going not too proud. You’re 16. Go on your own. What are your symptoms?
get a friend to take you to the doctors. its very important that you get checked out. please, do it for yourself. best wishes!

Think positive also. . . . . . . . m
“Prideful”? Your Mom is “prideful” of not seeking appropriate medical care? Yikes!
Maybe you should bypass you Mom. If she is that foolish, then you need to recognize her psychological problem and not let it endanger your life. Cancer is extremely serious and tends to be more aggressive in younger people. The fact that your family has an extensive cancer history is obviously a red flag too.
Call the American Cancer Society at 1-800-ACS-2345. They can tell you where to go for a free or low cost breast cancer screening in your area. You do not need to get your mom involved. Frankly, leave her the heck out of it.
Good luck.
I would run to the doctor office now.
The chances of breast cancer at your age are close to zero.
It’s almost unheard of in under 25s and fewer than 0. 1% of all those diagnosed are under 30. When I was diagnosed with it I was classed as young and allocated to the breast care nurse whose special interest was breast cancer in younger women. I was 50.
The American Cancer Society and othe cancer organisations recommend that women begin breast self-examination at the age of 20. This is because hormonal changes are so frequent before that age, and the likelihood of breast cancer so low, that breast self exams are pointless.
Whatever symptoms you think you have are likely to be hormonal.
Cases of breast cancer in your family history are unlikely to increase your risk. Only 5 – 10% of breast cancer cases are hereditary (some recent sources put it as low as 5%), due to a rare inherited faulty gene. You can only inherit one of these genes, where they exist, from one of your parents.
Has it been confirmed that anyone in your family has had breast due to one of the rare BCRA genes? Or do you just mean that members of your family have had breast cancer? With one in eight women developing breast cancer, it isn’t unusual for two, three or more women in the same extended family to have non-hereditary breast cancer.
If you feel you can’t talk to your mother, talk to your school nurse. She will be used to girls having such worries and will take you seriously and will almost certainly be able to reassure you
Listen to all the other answerers. They give good advice. You need to have yourself checked out as soon as possible. Hopefully, it is nothing, but you do need to have it checked out right away. Time matters here. Hope it all turns out well for you.
