1. if you ever have any doubt...go to the doctor it is never not worth it...
2. Tenderness in the breasts and lumps are the biggest symptoms, but often times there are no symptoms until it is too late for help. If you are worried, see a doctor to schedule a mammogram.

4. breast cancer is bad but if you get it if you want to get a more natural cure try flaxseed oil i learned the cure form a talk show they were interveiwing the author of 200000 cures
5. Hardening of the breast tissue, pain in the breast, a lump as small *** a pea could be cancer, you will usually feel fine and in good health, so don't wait for a sick feeling before you act. Do your breast exams regularly.
6. Breast cancer most often involves glandular breast cells in the ducts or lobules. Most patients present with an asymptomatic lump discovered during examination or screening mammography. Diagnosis is confirmed by biopsy. Treatment usually includes surgical excision, often with radiation therapy and adjuvant systemic therapy.
   Symptoms of breast cancer:-
   Early breast cancer usually does not cause symptoms. This is why regular breast exams are important. As the cancer grows, symptoms may include:
   * Breast lump or lump in the armpit that is hard, has uneven edges, and usually does not hurt
   * Change in the size, shape, or feel of the breast or nipple -- for example, you may have redness, dimpling, or puckering that looks like the skin of an orange (peau d' orange)
   * Fluid coming from the nipple -- may be bloody, clear-to-yellow, or green, and look like pus
   Men get breast cancer, too. Symptoms include breast lump and breast pain and tenderness.
   Symptoms of advanced breast cancer may include:
   * Bone pain
   * Breast pain or discomfort
   * Skin ulcers
   * Swelling of one arm (next to breast with cancer)
   * Weight loss
