If you have a tumor in the breast, as it
continues to grow, it will start producing symptoms. These
symptoms do not always mean you have breast cancer, but they
do require an examination by a health care professional.
A lump or thickening on the breast or under
the arm is one symptom. If you notice any lump consult your
doctor immediately. Other signs are; changes in breast size
or shape, nipple turning inward, discharge from the nipple,
scaling, or redness of the nipple, and pitting and redness
anywhere on the breast. If you experience any of these
symptoms or feel a bump, even a tiny one, it’s important to
be checked. Early detection is the key to the cure for
breast cancer.
If you have determined you have one of these
symptoms, your doctor may recommend further testing. A
diagnostic mammogram may be prescribed, this is another set
of mammogram x-rays, but are more complete. |
