There is a little known form of Breast Cancer called Inflammatory Breast Cancer.

It is very rare and even some cancer information web sites do not address this type of cancer. Many doctors do not know how to diagnose it. It does not show up on a mammogram and does not cause lumps. It does have some very specific symptoms but for many women who have it, it is usually misdiagnosed as something else and not discovered until stage 4. Stage IV cancers have often metastasized, or spread to other organs, or throughout the body. There is almost no hope at this stage.

The link below is a news story about this disease. Paste it into your browser, watch the video, and spread the word to all the women you know. You could save a life.
