Breast Cancer - what you need to know....

In my last post about breast cancer "THINK PINK", I talked about things you can do to reduce your risk. This post is about symptoms that you may notice which you will need to discuss with your doctor. It is good to know that most breast lumps are benign (not cancer), however, they should all be checked by an MD if you find one. Any other changes in your breast such as change in shape or nipple discharge should prompt a visit to the doc. Here is a GREAT and quick slide show from WebMd to show you what to look for:
