How to check your breasts - Video

FEEL IT ON THE FIRST

Routinely Self-checking your breasts and attending your routine screening appointments helps you to get to know what is normal for you and your breasts.

It's important to remember that when you self-check, or attend your screening appointments, you are not looking for Breast Cancer,
you are simply getting to know your breasts so that if anything changes with your breasts you know it's time to ask for help.

I had no idea that an inverted nipple was a sign of Breast Cancer, as a result, I delayed getting seen by my GP. When I got to my
GP I didn't know what my normal was and found it hard to be taken seriously with my symptoms

Share this video to get your loved ones self-checking and make them aware of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer. These could be:

• A lump or swelling in the breast, upper chest or armpit
• A change to the skin, such as puckering or dimpling
• A change in the colour of the breast – the breast may look red or inflamed
• A nipple change, for example, it has become pulled in (inverted)
• Rash or crusting around the nipple
• Unusual liquid (discharge) from either nipple
• Changes in size or shape of the breast

Keep routinely checking, the first of the month is a great time to set our reminder for,

With Love, Kreena
