A friend sent me an e-mail about Inflammatory Breast Cancer. I had never heard of this type of breast cancer so I did some checking on the internet. This type of cancer grows rapidly. Because it does grow rapidly, by the time most people get medical attention, the cancer has already advanced. It is a very aggressive cancer and the most difficult to treat because it spreads quickly. It can begin as early as age 16. Some of the signs are:
*breast appear red, purple, pink or bruised
*breast are tender, can be firm and enlarged
*a warm feeling
*itching
*pain
*dimpled skin - like an orange rind
*areas of the breast skin thickened
*flatten or retracted nipple
*nipple swollen or crusted
*change in color of the skin
