Women are often their
own strongest allies
in the fight against
breast cancer. While a strong
support network can be vital
when receiving treatment for
breast cancer, women who
have not been diagnosed
with the disease still have
an important role to play in
combating it and potentially
reducing its impact on their lives.
The World Cancer Research Fund reports that breast cancer
is the second most common cancer worldwide and
the number one cancer in women across the globe. But
women are not helpless against breast cancer. In fact, various
organizations encourage women to take a proactive
approach in relation to the disease and begin conducting
routine self-examinations in young adulthood. Self-exams
can uncover signs of the disease and propel treatment
when it’s in its earliest stages, a point in time when breast
cancer is most treatable. Though the disease does not always
produce symptoms in its early stages, women can
keep an eye out for these signs each day, including when
conducting self-exams.
• New lump or mass: This is perhaps the most widely
known symptom of breast cancer, but it’s important that
women avoid jumping to conclusions should they uncover
a new lump or mass during a self-exam. That’s because
most breast lumps are not cancer according to the American
Cancer Society. The ACS notes a painless, hard mass
with irregular edges is more likely to be cancer but also
acknowledges cancer-related lumps or masses can be
soft, round, tender, or painful.
• Swelling of all or part of a breast: Swelling may be a
sign of breast cancer even if no lump is felt.
• Skin dimpling: The dimpling that may be symptomatic
of breast cancer can look like the exterior of an orange
peel.
• Pain: Some women experience pain in the breast or nipple
before a breast cancer diagnosis.
• Nipple retraction: This symptom is marked by the nipple
turning inward.
• Skin issues on the nipple or breast: Skin on the nipple
or breast may redden, dry, flake, or thicken when a woman
has breast cancer.
• Nipple discharge: The discharge will be something other
than breast milk.
• Swollen lymph nodes under the arm or near the collar
bone: This swelling may indicate the breast cancer
has spread even before the original tumor in the breast
reached a size large enough to be felt.
