pfff damn that does sound a bit
much? but hey you're not as scared anymore if at all so job well done bfs dad? xD
I can understand the queasiness but at the same time I'm a nerd for those things and visited too many museums with taken apart preserved ppl so I'm no longer bothered by that
but yeah it is really rare for young women, and takes really long to develop so if you're alert and check yourself every once in a while, it should be good!
This is what happened to my mother actually recently
I always pressured her to get herself checked up because we have a history of breast cancer in her side of the family and I ALWAYS told her to go and well, check herself every once a year at least
And this year she hit her 50 in Jan and almost didn't go, but I pressured her again saying the older she is the chances are higher,
and lo and behold
The tests showed that she had this tiiiny growth there, smaller then any cyst she had lol
at first it wasn't clear and no one told her the actual meaning of the results but sadly I am a medicine and biology freak because I have to know it all, and I saw she got a 4C result which means it's most likely a carcinoma
and now she's after the surgery and radiology screenings and besides 2 different coloured boobs (which will pass, it's just the radiology but she can't stop complaining about it) she's now fine and kicking again
Health is a scary thing at times but being aware and knowing stuff will reduce a lot of fear and stress so best way to really be more confident about it is educating yourself further about this type of cancer if you're at a higher risk, and get checked once in a while
