Be breast aware
If you find any changes from what is normal for you go to your GP without delay.You are not wasting anyone’s time.
It is important to know that most changes are not cancer. But, reassurance and advice will always help, and the sooner a possible cancer is reported, the more simple treatment is likely to be. Changes to look for:
-
A change in size or shape
-
A lump or thickening
-
Puckering or skin dimpling
-
Nipple becoming drawn or changing direction
-
Bleeding or discharge from the nipple
-
Rash on or around the nipple
-
Sudden roughness of the skin
-
Swelling under the armpit or around the collar bone
-
Constant pain in one part of your breast or in your armpit
