Breast Cancer Won't Wait...

Breast cancer won’t wait. Everything else can.

No matter how busy you are – if you find a change in your breast, see your doctor without delay.

Early detection is vital to surviving breast cancer.

Changes to look for include:

• A new lump or lumpiness, especially if it’s only in one breast.
• A change in the size or shape of your breast.
  
• A change to the nipple, such as crusting, ulcer, redness or inversion.
• Nipple discharge.
  
• A change in the skin of your breast such as redness or dimpling.
• An unusual pain that doesn’t go away.

Nine out of ten breast changes are not due to cancer, but see your doctor to be sure.
