Having breast cancer does not mean you should immediately have surgery.

This gives you time to learn more about your diagnosis and condition. And when you have the most capable and skilled oncologists at Fortis Hospital Mulund guiding you towards the right decision, a second opinion is just not required.

Since all cancers manifest differently in different people, it’s the same with breast cancer too. So, you might not know you have breast cancer because there may not be any noticeable symptoms. The most common signs and symptoms of breast cancer are:

• A lump or lumps in the breast or underarm area
• Breast pain
• Swelling of the entire breast or part of it
• Skin irritation or dimpling of the breast
• Nipple pain or inverted nipple (turning inwards)
• Nipple discharge (not breast milk)
• Thickening of the nipple or breast skin
• Redness and scaliness of the nipple or breast skin
