Pink Awareness: Symptoms of Breast Cancer

Breast Cancer Awareness month is a chance to raise awareness about the importance of early detection of breast cancer. There is no question: We should do everything in our power to provide support to those who are already battling the disease.

The color pink is considered feminine. The pink ribbon represents fear of breast cancer, hope for the future, and the charitable goodness of people. It is intended to evoke solidarity with women who currently have breast cancer. Here are some symptoms that women shouldn’t ignore:  Nipple tenderness or a lump or thickening in or near the breast or underarm area  A change in the skin texture or an enlargement of pores in the skin of the breast (some describe this as similar to an orange peel’s texture)  A lump in the breast (It’s important to remember that all lumps should be investigated by a healthcare professional, but not all lumps are cancerous.)
