It doesn’t just cause a lump

WHILE back pain may be an unusual symptom, there are other more common signs many women may not realise can also indicate breast cancer because they assume the only indication is a lump.

These include any change in the size or shape of the breast, a change in skin texture such as puckering or dimpling, any redness or rash on the skin or an inverted or altered nipple.

Discharge from the nipple, a swelling around the armpit or collarbone, and constant pain in the breast or armpit, are also possible symptoms.
