It's #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth.
Breast cancer can have several symptoms. Get used to checking your breasts regularly and be aware of anything that’s new or different for you.

ALT Infographic on the symptoms of the breast cancer. The text reads: "What are the signs and symptoms of breast cancer?" and "See a GP if you notice any changes." The symptoms listed are: "A change in the outline or shape of your breast; changes in your skin such as puckering, dimpling, colour or a rash; a discharge of fluid from either of your nipples; any changed in nipple position (pulled in or pointing differently); a new lump, thickening or bumpy area in one breast or armpit; swelling in your armpit, collarbone or breasts; an eczema like rash, crusting, scaly itching or redness or or around the nipple." The NHS logo is in the top right hand corner.

If something in your body doesn’t feel right, talk to us. Most people who go for tests find out it’s not cancer.
Finding out sooner is always better. Contact your GP practice.
