Thousands of children worldwide will lose their mothers, husbands without wives, and parents lose daughters.

Governments around the world spend their free breast screening for women when they reach the age of 50, which is in the form of mammography. But the real question is, what are the guidelines for younger women? And what a plan in place to educate them, that early detection is the key, which increases the chances of full recovery.

- Any swelling in parts of the breast.
- Any irritation of the skin.
- Any nipple pain.
- Red or scaly appearance of warts or skin.
-. Lumps in the armpit
