October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
This October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we are focusing on raising awareness around secondary breast cancer.
There are an estimated 61,000 people in the UK who have been diagnosed with secondary breast cancer. That’s why we fund research dedicated to giving those living with the disease, to give them more time to live their lives to the fullest.
You should see a GP if you notice any of these symptoms:
- feel a lump of any size
- a change in the size or shape of one or both breasts
- discharge from either of your nipples, which may be streaked with blood
- a lump or swelling in either of your armpits
- dimpling on the skin of your breasts
- a rash on or around your nipple
- a change in the appearance of your nipple, such as becoming sunken into your breast
