INFLAMMATORY BREAST CANCER

Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) has not gotten the media attention of many forms of cancer. However, it is a very deadly form that is often not detected early, and results in a lower percentage of survivors than some.

I'm adding this page mainly for people to become aware of it. Having survived uterine cancer, there is always the threat of a recurrence of some kind of cancer in later years. So I am continually looking for symptoms, especially in breast cancer, that would give me a heads up for early detection.

Since I am not personally experienced with this type of cancer, I will not go into trying to explain it, but give you a link where you can read about it from the professionals. In short, here is a list copied from the link below of the symptoms, and if you should find any of these, I would urge you to go see a doctor right away.

Common signs and symptoms of IBC can include:

*****Breast swelling, which is usually sudden with one breast much larger than the other.

*****Itching

*****A pink, red, or dark colored area, sometimes with a texture like the skin of an orange.

*****Ridges and thickened areas of the skin.

*****Breast feeling warm to the touch.

*****Nipple retraction.

*****Breast pain

Cancer.org offers a great amount of information and additional links. So please check out their site below, as well as the YOUTUBE VIDEO underneath it.

Information is powerful and we must get the word out that lives can be saved by early detection of IBC, and steps to help ourselves in preventing it.

I have been personally cancer free from any type of cancer since 2003, and give detailed therapies that I use daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly to help keep myself that way. You may also want to check out these helpful pages within my site:
