I did search and didnt find anything about this on here. I just heard about it for the first time today and apparently a lot of women are unaware of this kind of cancer...just doing my part to spread awareness!

Quote :

"nflammatory breast cancer is a rare but very aggressive type of breast cancer in which the cancer cells block the lymph vessels in the skin of the breast. This type of breast cancer is called “inflammatory” because the breast often looks swollen and red, or “inflamed.” IBC accounts for 1 to 5 percent of all breast cancer cases in the United States (1). It tends to be diagnosed in younger women compared to non-IBC breast cancer. It occurs more frequently and at a younger age in African Americans than in Whites. Like other types of breast cancer, IBC can occur in men, but usually at an older age than in women. Some studies have shown an association between family history of breast cancer and IBC, but more studies are needed to draw firm conclusions (2)."

Hey Peter, man, check out channel 9, it's the breast exams!

^^this type doesnt show up in self breast exams or mamograms.

this types looks like bug bites...and people go to the doctor for it....and they are prescribed antibiotics....and then they die.

awareness doesnt hurt anybody...and this type of breast cancer, along with others, has been know to occur in men...so educate yourself, and save a life.

thx.

Worry about the stuff you can control. Not something that makes up 1-5% of all breast cancer.

You should be way more scared getting in your car every day.

Thanks for the post.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with educating people about risks the common public may not know about, this could help save lives, stop being so ignorant josh#'s. Maybe go outside for once, it might do you some good.
