Knowing what your breasts normally look and feel like can help you notice a change
Most breast changes won’t be cancer. But if you notice anything new or unusual, get it checked by a doctor. Don’t wait until your next mammogram, even if you’ve had one recently.
There’s no right or wrong way to check your breasts. The important thing is to look at and feel them regularly, so you know what’s normal for you. Find a way that works for you and make it part of your routine.
Know the signs of breast cancer
A lump is not the only possible sign of breast cancer. Look out for any new or unusual changes in your breasts or nipples.
If you notice a change, see a GP. You know your body best, and it’s always worth getting checked.

Knowing your breasts and having regular screening mammograms (when you’re eligible) are both important. Watch our video to learn more.
