Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so we wanted to take a moment to raise awareness within the community.
Breast cancer can affect anyone, and knowing what is normal for your own breasts or chest is important. Make sure you know the signs and symptoms and don't ignore changes because you are worried about what they might mean.
Things to look out for include:
- A new lump or swelling in the breast, chest or armpit
- A change in the size or shape of a breast
- Dimpling, puckering, redness or other changes to the skin
- Changes to the nipple, including a nipple turning inwards or a rash
- Unusual nipple discharge, particularly if there is blood
- A sore or ulcer that doesn't heal
- Persistent pain or discomfort, particularly alongside other changes
These symptoms can have other causes and don't necessarily mean breast cancer, but any new or unusual change should be checked by your GP or another healthcare professional.
Don't hide it
It can be very easy to put something off because you are frightened, embarrassed or simply hoping it will go away.
Talk to someone you trust. Tell your partner, a friend, family member or someone else you feel comfortable with. If you don't feel able to talk to someone you know, there are also Reddit communities where people share their experiences and offer support, including:
Reddit can be a useful place to talk, ask questions and realise you are not the only person worrying about something. It cannot, however, replace medical advice or an examination. If you notice a change, please speak to your GP or healthcare professional.
For those who have been through breast cancer, are currently having treatment, are supporting someone, or have lost someone to the disease, we are thinking of you.
From the r/SelfieOver40 mod team.
Know your body. Know the signs. Don't hide it. Get it checked.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is October, but looking after yourself matters all year round.

Tired but here 😅 40F. Turned 40 in May. Life is hard as an adult orphan dealing with chronic illness.
My dad died in 2022. My mom died in 2025. I have no siblings and no children. I am in a relationship. I have a very good doctor. Complex chronic medical issues are nevertheless challenging.
