Bette Davis was regarded as one of the most groundbreaking actresses of her time, with an aura of power and charisma that made it impossible to look away when she was on screen.

The NHS notes that the exact causes of breast cancer are not fully understood. This is where X-ray images of the breast are taken. It is important to note that pain in the breasts, with none of the other above signs of breast cancer is not usually a sign. If concerned, it is always best to seek a doctor’s opinion as they will be able to examine the breast and decide whether further investigation is needed.
