1. Sure it's possible but it's not very common. If you have a lump or something I highly recommend that you get it checked out.
2. yes it is possible. especially if it runs in the family (the women or the men).
3. it is probably a cyst but you should see a doctor and he will know what to do.don't worry but get it checked better safe than sorry.good luck.
4. no, but youre going to die anyway
5. yes, breast cancer can occur at any age,male and female.
6. Yes, almost anything is possible. But yes, it can happen. Although it is almost unheard of or unlikely for MEN or MALES to get breast cancer it does happen.....one in a million. The best thing for you to do is go to the doctor and have it checked out. I suggest you go ASAP because if it is something maybe not breast cancer, but it could be a tumor benign or malignant and like with most things, if you catch it on time you have better changes of recovering and of treatment. So I suggest you go have your doc examine you and that way you will be able to put your mind at ease and stop worrying. Don't worry at least you don't have to get implants .....actually you could lol maybe more like pecks lol. Well get checked.....it'll stop the worrying.
7. Actually male breast cancer is far more common than one in a million. I personally know two men who have it and are getting treatment for it. Both these men are over age 60. It would be unusual for a 14 year old to get it but it is possible. If there is a lump, it is probably a cyst. However, don't dismiss it. Have it checked out and follow the doctor's advice.
8. Breast cancer is possible for anyone regardless of age or sex. If you have a lump--get it checked out. If your breasts seem to be enlarged it could be gynecomastia. This is somewhat common in males-it is just the enlargement of the breast tissue which can make them look more feminine. I actually have a slight case of this myself. I noticed a lump in my right breast and was a swelling. I went to the doctor and was told that I have gynecomastia. There is surgery for it but since it isn't severe I'm not worried about it, but it is an option. Also gynecomastia is a sometimes symptom of testicular cancer which I was diagnosed with about a year later--so better be safe than sorry and just get to a doctor. By the way I was 20 when all of this started to take place.
