Along with mammography, performing a monthly self-breast exam offers women the best chance to find a change early enough, to not only save her life, but to save her breasts. Any change should be reported to your physician, but don t panic because 9 out of 10 lumps are not cancerous. A dimpling or puckering of the skin of the breast, a change in the contour of the breast, an enlargement of only one breast, an unusual discharge from the nipple, a nipple that retracts into the breast, a thickening of any area of the breast tissue. Remember, your doctor is your helpmate to determine whether there is a reason for concern. Call for an appointment if you notice any of the described symptoms.
Early detection is the best defense.
