Breast cancer in women
According to the NHS, the first symptom of breast cancer that most women notice is a lump or an area of thickened tissue in their breasts.
It said you should see a doctor if you notice any of the following:
• A change in the size or shape of one or both breasts.
• A lump or swelling in either of your armpits.
• A new lump or area of thickened tissue in either breast that was not there before.
• A rash – like eczema – crusting, scaly or itchy skin or redness on or around your nipple.
• A change in the appearance of the nipple.
If any os these are being experienced make an appointment with your GP and DO NOT procrastinate.
