Jamie S asked:
Ok. So my cousin (female and adult) just got diagnosed with breast cancer. So I asked if guys can get it too. They said they could. So I checked and there is like this lump in my “breast” I guess. Its right under my nipple. Does it have to be cancer? I’m scared to tell my parents because they’d wanna feel it. Help.
