Breast Cancer Symptoms

Question: Are there symptoms to breast cancer that are not breast related? Many other cancers have symptoms like nausea, pain, tiredness, bleeding, headaches, etc. Are there symptoms that are common but non-breast related to breast cancer?

Answer: The symptoms of possible breast cancer are change in size - one breast may have become noticeably larger or lower nipple change - if it becomes inverted (pulled in) or changes its position or shape rash - on or around the nipple discharge - from one or both nipples puckering or dimpling - around nipple swelling – in your armpit or around your collarbone (from lymph nodes) lump or thickening - that feels different from the rest of the breast tissue All symptoms are breast or underarm related unless the cancer has spread to other parts of the body - typically the brain, liver, bones or lungs - in which case there may well be other symptoms. But most cases of breast cancer are diagnosed before this has had a chance to happen. Nausea, tiredness etc are not breast cancer symptoms. Most people diagnosed with breast cancer have felt no pain, but some do - I did.
