Breast cancer doesn't just affect women. Men can get it too, and knowing the signs matters 💙

Symptoms to look out for include:
✅ A lump or swelling in the chest or armpit
✅ Ni**le discharge, which may contain blood
✅ Changes in the size or shape of either side of the chest
✅ Sores or ulcers on the chest
✅ A change in the shape or look of the ni**le, such as it turning inwards or developing a rash

It's important to check your chest regularly so you know what's normal for you, that way, it's easier to spot if something changes.

If you notice any of these signs, please see your GP. It doesn't definitely mean cancer, but early checks make a real difference.
