When I was about 11 I believed I had breast cancer because I developed 2 hard lumps in my nipples. I had heard a commercial about checking breasts for lumps. For a year I was scared I had cancer and was totally relieved when I finally asked the doctor and he told me it was normal and I was just developing.
