Skin changes, etc.: Most women diagnosed with breast cancer have no symptoms, having been diagnosed by routine screening mammography. For those with symptoms, the presence of a palpable lump is by far the most common. Other symptoms include skin dimpling, thickening, or reddness, nipple inversion, nipple discharge, breat pain, and/or the presence of a lump in the armpit. Best bet for diagnosis: yearly mammograms!

blood from nipple: Although most breast cancers present with a lump or abnormal mammogram, some present with nipple discharge. The discharges to be worried about are bloody and sometimes thick clear fluid (reminds one of fluid in a blister) - especially if you are post-menopausal. Most green or brown nipple discharge in premenopausal women is not cancer. Unusually, bc can present as breast pain.
