Breast Cancer Awareness

[tigerlily]

Since I have a very strong family history of breast cancer, I found it astonishing that I was not aware of this rare form of breast cancer. Most people know to look for a lump, but that is the not the only form of breast cancer. Inflammitory Breast Cancer presents in a completely different manner, and I wanted to spread the word. Here is a link that is somewhat graphic, and shows a few pictures for example. Please share this with the women in your life.

Also here is a link to the different types of breast cancer as well.

Thanks for posting this Christie! This is a cause close to my heart! The first time I saw this video I was in shock that this wasn't something we were told about. Imagine thinking you just had a rash and then finding out that it's Cancer!!!

Exactly the reason I wanted to share this with as many women as possible. Even doctor's misdiagnosing it as a bug bite, that's just scary in this day and age.

I am glad that you posted this. I am slowly learning alot about breast cancer, through a friend of mine at work who had it but is in remission. I am glad that you shared this; I had no idea about it either.

Thank you for sharing this. My mother just became a survivor, so this is an issue I may have to deal with intimately. It is good to know that there are other kinds of breast cancer..I sure didn't know.

I'm glad that this was able to reach a few more women. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer at 48. She's the third generation that has been diagnosed with breast cancer. So this subject is VERY near and dear to my heart.

I'm am currently struggling with trying to find an adequate prevention plan, that does not increase my risk of breast cancer. I have found this new procedure that does not involve any radiation. Unfortunately, it seems like most insurances do not cover this and it is a relatively new option as well. I figured I'd go ahead and tack this info onto this thread as well...
