A swollen lymph under your arm: Many people notice a lump in the armpit, but not around the breast, they ignore it thinking it s non-cancerous. But it can be a sign of cancer which has spread to the lymph nodes, and at times it is spotted even before it appears on the breast.

Changes in breast sign: If there is a swelling or shrinking found in any one of the breasts, it is something to noted.

Thickening of the nipple: Any changes in the skin surrounding the nipple area, it could be either be thickening, puckering, dimpling or itching of the nipple which should never be ignored.

Presence of rashes: If rashes are found across both the breast, it shouldn t be brushed away thinking it s an allergy. Because it could also be a sign of inflammatory breast cancer.
