It doesn't need to be anything complicated, just follow the five point code:

Know what is normal for you
Look and feel
Know what changes to look for
Report any changes without delay
Attend breast screening if aged 50 or over

Changes to look for include: A lump or thickening which is different to the rest of the breast tissue
Continuous pain in one part of the breast or armpit
One breast becomes larger or lower
A nipple becomes inverted or changes shape or position
Skin changes including puckering or dimpling
Swelling under the armpit or around the collarbone
A rash on or around the nipple
Discharge from one or both nipples
