The actress, who has been diagnosed with breast cancer, is urging others to be aware of the signs and get checked if you're concerned.
People are being urged to look out for the signs of breast cancer after American actress Olivia Munn shared her diagnosis this week.
Catching the illness early on is essential for better treatment, which is why regular checking of your breasts is vital. It's estimated that one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in their life, but if it's detected early, there's an improved chance of recovery. Breast cancer develops when abnormal cells in the breast grow out of control and eventually form a growth, also known as a tumour, reports the Mirror.
According to the charity Breast Cancer Now, one of the signs and symptoms of the disease is a lump or swelling in the breast, chest or upper armpit.Breast pain on its own is not usually a sign of cancer - but look out for pain in your breast or armpit that's there all or almost all the time. The most common symptom of breast cancer in men is a lump in the chest area.
