Don’t scroll past this. Kylie Armstrong was diagnosed with breast cancer and these small dimples were the only signs. She posted the image on Facebook so everyone knows that “that breast cancer is not always a detectable lump.” Here’s how Kylie is doing today.

(If you’re not sure how to do a self breast exam, instructions can be found at BreastCancer.org.)

This could save a life!

I know someone who caught her own breast cancer because she realized her nipples were sometimes inverting which she had never experienced before. Her primary initially tried to excuse it as normal (because it is normal for some) but she pushed the issue because she knew it was weird that it had never happened to HER breasts before. She was stage 3 already, but eventually became cancer free. If she hadn’t trusted herself and advocated for herself she likely would have bee stage 4 before she had a lump or other common symptoms and by then it would have bee terminal.
