my mom and i are at high risk also. u could be higher risk than ur mother but tht doesnt mean ur high, high risk. my mom always told me to just lightly feel around the armpit and breast area for any lumps. if u feel anything out of the ordinary tell ur mom and have her feel it. she will no if its a lump or not. if it is get it indifferent b4 it spreads. breast cancer is risky for children whos mother is at risk for the cancer.
You can start doing self checks now if you want. There are lots of sites that clarify how to do them. You shouldn’t start worrying about that now (you’re only 13). When you turn 18 and start vacant to the Gyno they will also check your breasts every year.
you are. anything in you gene pool like caner is always a risk.my gynocologist told be that anything that doesn’t go when you press on isn’t natural. if you feel and bump its hard, go to a gyno. as you grow your body’s vacant to change. I’m 20 and im still changing and learning about my body. i wouldn’t worry. when your 16 i would start vacant to the gyno. just have fun.your young.
What you can do is eat lots & lots of vegetable very regularly. Same w/ fruits. And avoid foods & drink that have high sugar and partially hydrogenated oils in them (my mom called it the “H-word”) Also, no aspartame.Aspartame is found in most sugar-free foods & drink (like Diet Coke, cute N’ Low) All of these have been known to lead to a higher risk of being paid cancer. Try to eat as small junk food as possible. Healthy, & often raw foods (like raw fruit & vegetables) are very helpful when you’re avoiding cancer. My mother had breast cancer when she was 39-40 years ancient, & unfortunately she died from it, but when she was vacant through treatment, she gave my siblings & I some excellent insights on what she would/could have done to prevent the cancer.
Also, eat raw garlic. It sounds grave, but it supports breast health. And take vitamins every day (the ones I take are called Juice Plus. You can get them in capsules or chewables. I reckon at Hi-Health is where I got them.) Eat a wide diversity of vegetables & fruits every day. This will lower your risk of being paid cancer. Especially if you have a high immune logic.
I don’t know what a mammogram is, but you should check your breasts for lumps (feel around, it’s a bit awkward to say it, but it’s helpful). Remember this analogy: feeling a bowl of oatmeal is normal; but feeling a peanut in the bowl is not. (The oatmeal is your boob, lol).
Also, NEVER sleep w/ a bra on. It’s very terrible to do that. (It presses down on & binds your breasts down while you’re rolling or tossing in your sleep, which hurts the tissues surrounded by your breasts.) SLeeping w/ a baggy camisole is okay, as long as the bra part is baggy & isn’t too binding.
Since you’re still young, so you need to start now w/ your prevention of breast cancer. It’s crucial.
