The Silent Killer: Inflammatory Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is something women think they know all about: Look for lumps; have mammograms; see our doctors.
But none of that will save you from one silent breast cancer killer that women know virtually nothing about.

My 80 year old …
My 80 year old grandmother was diagnosed with IBC four years ago. She was not expected to live by the time the doctor told her the prognosis. The odds were against her, but she pulled though and is still with us today. In Feb 2010 she will be an IBC survivor! There is hope for anyone woman of any age to fight this deadly form of breast cancer. Don’t give up! My beautiful grandmother is living proof that IBC can and will be defeated. My hopes and prayers are with you.

As I said, “Put your head in the sand if you must.” You sound like the man in a flood who sat on his roof and rejected help from a boat and a helicopter, and when he drowned, he asked St. Peter why God didn’t help him. The reply was “You rejected all the help we sent you!”

they’re not helpers sent by god, i can be healthy without doctors. i don’t care what you think of me, nor will i ever, so don’t even bother using the word “ignorant” when it has nothing to do with what i said in the paragraph. don’t bother to message back in a rebound because it will be deleted, and not read by me..you will only waste your time writing something i won’t even read. and i refuse to waste time with people that can’t allow someone to have their beliefs.

Hey, Syomachan, …
Hey, Syomachan, doctors may be the helpers sent for you BY God. Certainly He loves us and wants us to have healthy years in the bodies He gave us. Put your head in the sand if you must, but “I follow god only” sounds willfully ignorant. I’m forwarding this video to all the women I know.

this can be very useful information to all females of all sorts, but it can also be bad information that can lead to “paranoia” stress, and many other things that could very well cause this problem, because of the constant worry..sorry but, i follow god only. he is better than doctors. of any kind. ( i will take this information into account, but i will not freak out or run to some doctor.

I woke up this morning with a bruise on my nipple and i am going to see the doctor on thursday. I was trying to find out what could have caused a bruise on my nipple with no injury and IBC is all i could find. My mother died of breast cancer 17 years ago and i am only 29 is there anyone that has a story about nipple bruise, could this be IBC?

I am awaiting final diagnosis for IBC and will know next Tuesday. I had never heard of it, but fortunately, my family physician, who had never seen a case of IBC, suspected it at my first visit. PLEASE do not ignore any changes in your breast(s). That goes for men as well. The symptoms are so evident (swelling, redness, itchy, pitted skin, tenderness, hot to the touch) don’t ignore them! Don’t deny. And when you see your doctor, tell him you suspect IBC, don’t wait for him/her to guess!!

I thank the doctors who shared this information on You Tube. I had never heard of inflammatory breast cancer, and my mom and dad both had cancer and passed away within 7 months of each other. My mom had breast cancer and my father had prostate cancer.
It is terrible that information on IBC has not been made available or discussed during physicals. I am 52 years old and I do get physicals regularily and am under
doctors care for hyperthyroidism.
Thank you again, Dennyt

How tragic that a 16 year old girl died because she was too embarassed to even talk to her mom about the changes in her breast.
I agree with koolcat that education should start in high school so that young women will be able to discuss their breasts with a parent or doctor the same way they’d discuss their elbow.
It also amazes me that this form of cancer has been kept under the radar for so long.
Do they know what triggers it? I will definitely share this video.

I’d never heard of it either.Thankfully I was given chemo 36 hours after diagnosis & it worked. Awareneness could save so many more lives – it should start at High School.
