BREAST CANCER.....SAVE LIFE.....SPREAD THE WORDS

Symptoms of Having Breast Cancer
Symptoms are not always Lumps or Swelling that you can see or feel. If there are outwards signs, the most common ones - a lump, an area of thickening, or a dimple in the breast. Less common signs - breast swelling and redness, or an enlarged underarm lymph node.
Unusual changes in the breast can be a symptom of Breast Cancer:
. Swelling of all or part of the breast
. Skin irritation or dimpling
. Breast pain
. Nipple pain or nipple turning inward
. Redness, scaliness or thickeness of the nipple or breast skin
. A nipple discharge other than breast milk
. A lump in the underarm area
. Deformation of shape of one breast from another breast
It is important to get any changes checked out promptly by the doctor.
