Harder to detect than standard breast cancer, inflammatory breast cancer is often not caught on mammograms and does not produce lumps in the breast. Watch this video to learn about the symptoms of inflammatory breast cancer.
I was diagnosed in 1997 at 31. The symptoms appeared when I was 30, but it took us five months, numerous biopsies, fna's, mammograms and sonograms before it was diagnosed. It had spread rather dramatically. I was advised that I potentially had 24 months, but more likely a year. Twelve years later I'm here and doing fine. Contrary to the statistics and the prognostics the doctors give you, there are those of us who do survive. For more information, contact IBCResearch.org.
So glad to see a story on this form of breast cancer. My mother got it in May 1995 and died on Father's Day 1996. People usually think it has to be a lump or something like that and this form usually does not work like that. It's scary and very aggressive. But, I know that the things my mother went through (chemo, mastectomies, etc.) were all to help benefit those how get it today and now the discovery of this gene. Courage to all who have it and blessings on you.
