hello everyone,

my girlfriend the other day just noticed that she had a lump towards the inner side of her right breast. it is really hard and it hurts her when she presses down on it firmly. she has had pains in that breast before and she has told me that they would occur before her period. she is only 19 and it is really freaking me out. i am scared and its starting to scare me. she says that this disease does not run in her family but it still scares me. she was a little scared at first too but seems more calm now. i just want the both of us to be at ease. i have read some of the symptons and signs of the disease and that things seem to be in our favor but i just want someone to reassure me. thank you

Pain is almost never a symptom of breast cancer (although in a few cases it is), so that is in her favor. Still she needs to know what is going on. That way both she and you can rest easier. I'm praying that you both get good news.

I appreciate that you are being a good boyfriend....but it is time for her to turn to Mom and Doc for help with this. As boyfriend your job is to get her to take care of herself RIGHT NOW! Good luck and what a smart guy you are to get on line and try to find out what is going on. If she needs us we are here..but hope she does not need us.
