Breast Cancer Awareness

I have the breast cancer gene on both sides of my family. Breast cancer is something that is so scary and I want to be here for my daughter as long as possible. Cancer takes so many things from people. My grandma was one that died way too early because of cancer. So todays post is all about Cancer. Here are some of the things to look for and if you see any changes in your breast please please please go see your doctor immediatly.

Lump, hard knot or thickening inside the breast or underarm area

Swelling, warmth, redness or darkening of the breast

Change in the size or shape of the breast

Dimpling or puckering of the skin

Itchy, scaly sore or rash on the nipple

Pulling in of your nipple or other parts of the breast

Nipple discharge that starts suddenly

New pain in one spot that doesn’t go away



If you have any of these signs check with your doctor.
