Inflammatory Breast Cancer
There’s a little gap in breast cancer education. I’ve only discovered it this week as I go through yet another bout with mastitis. I’m concerned enough about it to get an appointment asap with my doctor to rule this out and I’m worried for my friend Cathy whose story is similar to some of the testimonials I’ve read. Lactating women get this! Young women get this! The article is too long to post here but follow the link and google for more info. Women should know about this!

Wow, thanks so much for passing this on! I was supposed to go back in for a check up after I stopped nursing so they could do another ultrasound on the abcess I got and have put it off- I’m going get in there and get it done!

Good!! I’m kind of peeved there is isn’t more inforamtion/education about this out there. I understand that it’s a more rare form but it seems the mainstream campaign is downright harmful in some instances. If women think breast cancer NEVER hurts, ALWAYS has a lump, and can be found with mammograms (IBC can’t) then they’re much more likely to sit on these symptoms and time is really of the essesnce in this situation.
