1. Any changes in your breasts are cause for concern; that's why it's important to check your breasts and become familiar with the way they normally are.
   
   Possible indications of 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 - under your armpit or around your collarbone (from lymph nodes)
   
   lump or thickening - that feels different from the rest of the breast tissue
   
   constant pain - in one part of your breast or in your armpit.
   
   Your friend should see her doctor immediately if she has any concerns. Most breast lumps are not cancerous, but need to be checked.
2. well you fell hard lumps in your breasts...
3. in early stages of breast cancer it may not be painful and there may not be any symptoms at all. As the cancer grows you may start to notice changes of the breast or underarm such as a lump.
   lumps, breast cancer lumps vary and may be hard or soft and have rounded or uneven edges. Swelling of part of the breast. skin irritation or dimpling. nipple pain or the nipple turning inward. redness or scaliness of the nipple or the breast skin. nipple discharge other than breast milk.
   A lump in the underarm.
   These signs and symptoms do not necessarily mean that it is breast cancer. But these are the signs to look for and have concern over. Only a biopsy can determine if a lump is cancerous. hope this helps some.
