Did you know? According to the American Cancer Society, there are more than 3.1 million breast cancer survivors in the United States
What are some of the signs of breast cancer?
Not everyone has the same warning signs. Some people don’t have any signs at all – they find out they have breast cancer after a mammogram.
Common warning signs
› New lump in the breast or underarm (armpit)
› Thickness or swelling of part of the breast
› Irritation or dimples on breast skin
› Redness or flaky skin in the ni**le area or on the breast
› Pulling in of the ni**le, or pain in the ni**le area
› Ni**le discharge other than breast milk, including blood
› Any change in the size or the shape of the breast
› Pain in the breast
Keep in mind that these can be signs of other things that are not cancer. But if you have any, see your doctor right away.
Talk with your doctor to learn more about risks, warning signs and screenings.
In honor of my Sister Dollie who passed from Breast Cancer at the tender age of 41, leaving behind a husband and 4 children. Please keep Dollie, her family and all who are dealing with breast cancer in your thoughts and prayers!
