Although early-stage breast cancer often causes no pain, recognizing potential warning signs is vital. Stay informed about key symptoms and reach out to your healthcare provider if you notice any changes.
Recognize signs of breast cancer: one breast changes size or shape, a lump in a breast or armpit, a sunken dip (dimple) on the nipple or elsewhere on the breast, red or scaly skin on a breast that doesn’t go away, or clear or bloody fluid comes out of a nipple. Early detection saves lives.

A light yellow infographic titled, "Extreme Heat: Older Adults. People 65 years or older are at greater risk from extreme heat health problems." Below are a couple dancing on a patch of sand, framed by the ocean, clouds and three seagulls in the distance. The tips read, "Find somewhere air conditioned. Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. Wear loose, lightweight, or light-colored clothing. Avoid high-energy activities during the midday heat and stay in the shade."
