Breast cancer is one of the biggest killer of women today. The increase of mammogram screening has revealed more breast cancers than ever before. Still, mammograms are not 100% perfect and can miss some breast cancers. Sometimes unfortunately, many women only learn they have cancer when noticeable symptoms appear. The most common symptoms include:
- A new painless hard and irregular breast lump or mass may appear
- A new painful, tender soft and round breast lump or mass may appear
- Generalized swelling for part or all of the breast, with or without a lump
- Painful or painless swelling in an underarm lymph nodes without any breast lump/mass
- Skin indentions or dimpling
- New breast skin irritation or inflammation
- Breast skin redness, thickening, or scaliness
- Breast nipple retraction or change in shape
- Breast nipple thickening or change in color and/or shape
- Non-milk nipple discharge that could be pus-like but particularly blood
- Generalized breast pain or nipple pain
- Breast tenderness or soreness
- Change in the size or shape of the breast
