Treatment and diagnosis of breast cancer has been possible due to public support in the awareness of breast cancer. Early detection of breast cancer and better treatments has reduced the number of mortality rates and the survival rates of breast cancer have improved significantly.
An accelerated type of breast cancer is IBC or inflammatory breast cancer. This cancer cannot be detected by a mammogram or by ultrasound. Almost one to three percent of all breast cancers are inflammatory breast cancers, though IBC is a relatively rare form of cancer. The affected breast becomes swollen and inflamed, which is one of the signs of this type of a breast cancer. The cancer cells block the lymphatic cells that exist under the breast skin which results in blockage of lymph flow, leading to inflamed redness which is also termed as mastitis. All these are characteristics of inflammatory breast cancer. |

However, the treatment generally has to be much more aggressive and probably toxic in nature, which means you might actually feel worse, before you get better. The key is to keep in close communication with your health care team, so they can alter the cancer treatment or provide medication to help you through the process. |

If you have just been diagnosed with breast cancer, chances are that panic mode is taking over, and you want that cancer out of your body yesterday. In truth, the mutated cancer cells have probably been in your body for years, and you simply did not know. Although that does not mean you can let it go for years and worry about it later, it does give you a little time to make an informed decision about the health care options that are right for you.
