Q: What are the Symptoms of Breast Cancer?
A:
Breast cancer is often treatable when prevented early and fatal when detected late. It is, therefore, important to recognize common symptoms of breast cancer, such as: a lump in the breast tissue, discharge from the nipple, dimpling of the breast (often compared to an orange), a change in size or shape of the breast, an inverted nipple or peeling of the skin on the nipple.* It is important to see your doctor for a diagnosis if you experience any of these or other symptoms.If your doctor failed to properly diagnose your breast cancer and you suffered physical harm as a result of that failure to diagnose breast cancer, then you may be entitled to damages. For more information please read our free book, Breast Cancer: The Risks, the Signs, Diagnosis and Treatment.
