I had never heard of this and just received the information from my SIL.
This cancer can look like an insect bite but is very aggressive and cannot be found by the regular (lump search) tests.

Inflammatory Breast Cancer is the name of this disease in case it fails to be accessible. Please check yourselves for this.

Thank you for posting this!! My aunt died from this form of breast cancer, and I have a friend who has been diagnosed with this. It is rare, but very hard to detect. It is so important that you check for it. It is one of those aggressive cancers, like pancreatic cancer, that once the symptoms show up it is usually too late.

BUMPING for the evening crew....

I agree with Pat - EVERY woman should watch this video.
Thanks Sandy.

Amy, how horrible. You know of TWO women that had/have THIS type of cancer? Gosh, its obviously not as rare as people think.

It has been hard. In fact it is because my aunt died from this specific type of cancer that I told my friend to get in and get checked. When she told me what the symptoms were, I knew right away she needed to get in.
