We think we know what the signs of breast cancer are, until it comes to checking our own breasts - then we're not so sure.
我们以为我们知道乳腺癌的迹象,到检查自己的乳房的时候,又不是那么肯定了。
Is that a lump I can feel? Should I be worried about the dimpled skin there? What exactly am I feeling for?
是可以感觉到的一个硬块吗?我应该担心起波纹的皮肤吗?我究竟应该怎么检查?

Lemons became her stand-in metaphor for breasts as she tried to create a simple, visual way of showing what breast cancer symptoms can look and feel like.
