October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Finding breast cancer early provides the best chance of surviving the disease. Remember you don’t need to be an expert or use a special technique to check your breasts.

Changes to look for include:

a change in the size or shape of your breast

a change to the ni**le, such as crusting, ulcer, redness or inversion

a ni**le discharge that occurs without squeezing

a change in the skin of your breast such as redness or dimpling

an unusual pain that doesn't go away.

Most changes aren’t due to breast cancer but it’s important to see your doctor without delay if you notice any of these changes.
