Have you heard about INFLAMMATORY BREAST CANCER?

Our daughter in law, age 45, died in October this year from this deadly disease. She was diagnosed four years ago, and was given six months to live. As soon as the diagnosis was made, the cancer had already invaded her liver. From there it went to her brain, then to her spine, and her liver worsened and worsened. She fought a good fight, but that kind of cancer is deadly. Many, many doctors do not know what it is when they see it. It is very aggressive, spreads like wildfire. It presents itself as a sore on the breast, does not present as a lump. Get informed, ladies, and do not be taken by surprise like our loved one, who was, by the way, a registered nurse.

Inflammatory breast cancer is an especially aggressive type of breast cancer that can occur in women of any age (and, although extremely rarely, in men). It is unique because it often does not present with a lump and therefore often is not detected by mammography or ultrasound. It presents with the signs and symptoms of a breast infection such as mastitis.

IBC or Inflammatory Breast Cancer causes breast changes in the nipple and surrounding areas. Other symptoms include rapid increase in breast size, redness, persistent itching, skin hot to the touch. IBC often initially resembles mastitis, and is sometimes misdiagnosed as an insect bite.

Inflammatory breast cancer is defined histologically by the presence of cancer cells in the subdermal lymphatics on skin biopsy. Diagnosis is done with an MRI or biopsy.

I have given the above short answer. For further full details and FAQ please see weblink - http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Sites... - of National Cancer Institute.

Yes, I lost my grandmother to this. Due to a past with breast cancer, she had mammograms every three months. She was perfectly clear one time, and the next it was too late to do anything. She died a month and a half after diagnosis.
