October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Most early-stage breast cancers in the U.S. are found with screening mammography, before any warning signs or symptoms appear. But breast cancer can also be found when people have warning signs. It's important to be aware of these warning signs and see a health care provider if you notice any changes in your breast or underarm area.
The most common signs of breast cancer are a change in the look or feel of the breast, ni**le, or ni**le discharge. Warning signs are not the same for all women.
