What are the signs of breast cancer?
BREAST cancer is the most common type of cancer in the UK.
The majority of women who get it are over 50, but younger women and, in rare cases, men can also get breast cancer.
If it’s treated early enough, breast cancer can be prevented from spreading to other parts of the body.
Breast cancer can have a number of symptoms, but the first noticeable symptom is usually a lump or area of thickened breast tissue.
Most breast lumps aren’t cancerous, but it’s always best to have them checked by your doctor. You should also speak to your GP if you notice any of the following:
- a change in the size or shape of one or both breasts
- discharge from either of your nipples (which may be streaked with blood)
- a lump or swelling in either of your armpits
- dimpling on the skin of your breasts
- a rash on or around your nipple
- a change in the appearance of your nipple, such as becoming sunken into your breast

She was diagnosed after finding a lump which led to a biopsy.
Sarah then shaved her hair after it began to fall out when she started chemotherapy.
During her treatment, Sarah had issued an update from her hospital bed and showed off her brand new collection of ‘tattoos’.
The ‘tattoos’ in question were a series of markings ahead of her latest procedure in hospital.
It was the Property Ladder anchor’s brood who joked about her new ink as they shared a photograph of their mum to social media.
Previously, Channel 4 presenter Sarah previously opened up on the “rollercoaster” and “weird ride” in her journey – and the exact moment she was given the all clear.
She said: “It’s good. It’s weird. It’s kind of like they [the doctors] go ‘that’s it then’ and that’s the end of that.
“And you go ‘how do you know?’ and they say ‘well we don’t we just think so.’
“It’s a weird end – you feel like there’s going to be a big moment.”
In the 2023 chat, Sarah added her medication would continue, and said: “I mean it’s ongoing – I have to take drugs for the next 10 years and be very vigilant.
“But it’s been a weird ride I wouldn’t wish on anyone else.”
