Early detection is key in fighting breast cancer. While many women examine their breasts on a regular basis and schedule annual mammograms, breast cancer can also manifest itself in unexpected places, such as in or around the collarbone, in the armpits—and even on the scalp. When Patty Bolle, a Michigan woman, went to see her hairdresser, she discovered a suspicious-looking bald spot.
"It was just about bigger than a dime size and it looked like it had been burned,†Bolle's hairdresser, Nikki McClure told WILX, a local news station in Lansing, Michigan. “It was kind of red and splotchy and so I asked her if she burned it and she said no and I kind of poked it a little bit and asked if it was sensitive and she said no."
