I'm A 37-Year-Old Breast Cancer Survivor, And My Red Flag Symptom Wasn't A Lump
Briefly

Megan, a 37-year-old breast cancer survivor, emphasizes the importance of breast cancer awareness and early detection, particularly for those under 40. After noticing visual changes in her breasts, she initially dismissed them as signs of aging. It wasn't until her breast changed shape and texture that she sought medical advice. Her experience underscores that individuals should be educated on breast cancer signs beyond just lumps, as many are unaware that age-specific screening guidelines may leave younger individuals vulnerable to late diagnosis.
We all know that a lump in the breast is the classic breast cancer red flag, but that's not how my story begins.
It's vitally important for people under 40 to know the signs to look out for.
The first doctor I saw felt my breast for a minute and told me it was normal (YIKES).
