🩷 At Nuffield Health Derby Hospital we recognise how important this month is. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK, with nearly 50,000 women diagnosed each year. Thanks to advances in medicine and greater awareness, more women than ever are surviving. Early detection is key — the sooner breast cancer is diagnosed, the better the chances of successful treatment and recovery.
Breast cancer can occur at any stage of life, so it’s important to check your breasts regularly — ideally once a month — and be familiar with what’s normal for you.
🔍 It’s not just lumps, be aware of these other signs:
• Dimpling, puckering, or bulging of the skin
• Redness, soreness, rash, or swelling
• A ni**le that has changed position or become inverted
• Clear or bloody fluid leaking from the ni**le
• Constant pain in the breast or armpit
