Breast cancer is scary but early detection can improve outcomes. Early signs of breast cancer can be a lump in the chest, painful or itchy breasts, and even an unusual discharge from one nipple.
Those with any of these symptoms should discuss this with a doctor who can refer them for a Mammogram and any further checks that are needed.
NAWP has produced a factsheet to:
- Raise awareness and highlight the signs and symptoms of breast cancer in women, men and transgender women.
- Raise awareness of employees’ rights at work and support that can be available for those diagnosed with breast cancer or caring for someone affected by cancer.
