Signs & Symptoms

Know your Body

You know your body best so always be aware of any changes or differences that you feel. Unlike most breast cancer, Lobular rarely forms a lump.

If you have any of these symptoms, please don’t ignore them. Go and see your GP and find out.

Signs and symptoms of Lobular Breast Cancer can include:

  • A tugging sensation in your breast
  • A change in the skin of your breast such as dimpling, puckering or a dent
  • Stabbing pains or pain that is there all of the time
  • A thickening area in your breast
  • New fullness or swelling
  • A persitent itch on the skin or inside your breast.
  • Changes to your nipple. Is it inverting or ticking in a different direction?
  • Discharge or oozing from the nipple
The Charity Coppafeel provides a great guide for you to help in examining your breasts.
