Can you get breast cancer immediately after going off birth control because of the birth control? I went off it about 2 weeks ago and now I have this painful red lump on my left breast and I’m kind of freaking out. I’m only 26 though and I have practically no family history.

You should schedule an appointment with your doctor to find out what it is. I’m pretty sure cancer doesn’t just happen suddenly like that but check with your doctor to see what’s going on. Dumb question but
Thanks for this!

Not cancer. Cellulitis.
