Remember that cancer does not produce pain. If it causes pain it is terminal. furthermore, rarely young teens get cancer, especially, the breast.

Pain in the body is caused by:
1) Pressure
2) ischemia = lack of blood supply
3) necrosis = tissue or cells death

No it doesn't, but best to get it checked out if there sore but sometimes during periods, or pregnancy they can get sore, tell your friend to get it checked out good luck

not really.
it could just be a hormonal imbalance. I know quite a few girls get breast pain just before their periods.
Also most women have pretty bad breast pain during pregnancy and it gets worse when they start breast feeding.

not at all. everyones breast is sore even men. its quite normal. but if your friend is really scared and feels a bump then he/she should go to the doctor

No. This not actually true in all cases. About 8 years ago I noticed what I thought might me a knot or mass of some kind in my left breast. Nothing hurt at all. So several month, maybe six or so my husband were on a cruise. I told him and he felt it. When I got back to the U.S. I did get it checked. Yes, it was cancer, but still not not have any pain at all. They did a mastectomy on me after a through biopsy. I am a cancer survivor. My husband had lost both of her breasts and did die. They was divested and afraid for me. I was well taken care of by him, as well as having to go through Chem, Radiation and ten the drug Tamoxifen. I am now cancer fess, praise God and the fact that I had a husband that cared for me. I hope your friend will get to the doctor soon. It may be from caffeine. I had a problem in my late 20"s and it was the caffeine that I drank in sodas. Most all I drink now is caffeine free. I did suffer some pain with that. I wish I had a solution for your friend. Get her to the doctor as soon as you can. She can not wait.
