And when you have constant pain in your breasts, your doctor smirks and tells you "you're too young" and that the pain is caused by you being too fat and only you can fix that, or it's just "normal hormonal fluctuations" and that you are making a big deal out of nothing. And heaven forbid that you are young enough to have your mom with you because then the doctor will also smirk at your mom as if she must be getting something from the attention by claiming she felt the lump or that you sometimes cry because the pain is so bad. And don't even bother telling them what they should already recognize as risk factors: your cycle started when you were nine, your maternal grandmother died of breast cancer and every cancer imaginable is in your paternal family... the doctor will smirk and tell you "you're too young" and if you're lucky enough for the doc to examine you at all, the doc will be rough with you and never quite touch the area that you keep saying is where the lump is. The doctor will certainly not suggest going for a mammogram, the doctor will smirk and tell you that not only are you "too young" but that mammograms have risk factors and getting them too young can actually increase your risks of cancers later, plus they are very expensive and there's just nothing to warrant your request. The doctor will smirk and tell you "you're too young" so go home and "lose weight", "stop worrying", and "get a hobby". we should also mention how near impossible it is for girls and young women to “discover” they have breast cancer early enough to treat it properly. because even if you find a lump, your doctor smirks and tells you “you’re too young”, that you don’t know your own breasts well enough even if you’ve been following the advice to do regular self-exams.
