breast cancer
What are symptoms of breast cancer? Be as detailed as possible. No website links please!! (I'm really squeamish so I don't want any pictures) And I would google it if I wasn't so afraid of getting pictures. Sorry.
Also in a cancerous breast, how does the nipple look?

Well the most common symptoms of breast cancer are:
-A change in how the breast or nipple feels
-A lump or thickening in or near the breast or in the underarm area
-Nipple tenderness
-A change in how the breast/nipple looks
-A change in the size or shape of the breast
-A nipple turned inward to the breast (inverted nipple)
-The skin of the breast, areola, or nipple may be scaly, red, or swollen. It may have ridges or pitting so that it looks like the skin of an orange
Early breast cancer doesn't cause any pain, But if you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it doesn't always immediately mean cancer, it could be another health problem. But I would visit your GP and they'll be able to diagnose you and then treated.
Hope that helped, oh and I typed in breast cancer into Google and there wasn't any nasty images : )
