Know your body so you know when it’s changing. Between regular screenings or exams, pay attention for the following:
 

          • A lump, hard knot or thickening in the breast

          • A lump under your arm

          • A change in the size or shape of a breast

           • Nipple pain, tenderness or discharge, including bleeding

           • Itchiness, scales, soreness or rash on the nipple

           • A nipple turning inward or inverted

           • A change in color and texture (dimpling, puckering or redness)

           • A breast that feels warm or swollen

If something feels different or off, don’t be afraid to speak up or ask your health care professional questions
