About this ebook
The author lists thirty-four such symptoms, describes them in detail, lists the possible diagnoses the symptoms may represent, their urgency, and the consequences of delay in diagnosis.
Procrastination is the thief of time and results in many preventable deaths. Hopefully, the book will stimulate patients to a more prompt appraisal of an unexplained symptom.

These changes include:
• A spontaneous clear or bloody discharge from one nipple with or without an associated breast lump
• A sudden retraction or indentation of one nipple
• A change in the size or shape of one breast
• Indentation, flattening, retraction of the skin of the breast
• Persistent nipple rash known as Paget’s disease of the nipple, also called Paget’s disease of the breast, is an uncommon (less than five percent) type of malignancy that forms in or around the nipple
