Whats a sign of breast cancer besides a lump?!

First, the age question!.

Breast cancer is mainly a disease of ageing!. 80 per cent of those diagnosed with it are over 50, it;s rare in women under 40 and almost unheard of in under 25s!.

Every day on here there are posts from teenagers terrified that they have breast cancer because of perfectly normal hormonal activity; the chances of a teenager getting breast cancer are very close to zero!.

The American Cancer Society recommends that women begin breast self-examination at the age of 20!.

Breast cancer usually has no symptoms at all in its early stages; the following are the signs and symptoms of possible breast cancer:

change in size - one breast may have become noticeably larger or lower

nipple change - if it becomes inverted (pulled in) or changes its position or shape

rash - on or around the nipple

discharge - from one or both nipples

puckering or dimpling - around nipple

swelling
