hi i'm 14 too and i get the same concern sometimes.
however, i found out that it's very rare for someone your age to get breast cancer unless it runs in the family.
your hair only falls out when you get chemo treatment.
as for your perioid, i don't know. but if you're really concerned you should go to your mom about it.
Stop watching House and all similar shows.
If you're worried about it, ask your doctor. Nobody here can give you a diagnosis over the net.
Well, none of the tests I've run on you come back positive. Your skin looks okay. I'm a little concerned about your weight...you may be bulimic...did I spell that right?
Oh, wait. I was confusing you with one of my REAL patients!
Go see your doctor.
Dear lilnizlovesyou,
You should and shouldn't worry about. Like some other forms of cancer, breast cancer has no symptoms. It is also not painful. The majority of breast cancer cases are discovered before symptoms are present, either by feeling a breast lump or finding an abnormality on mammography.
My best regards.
