There is a new form of breast cancer out there, called Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC Inflammatory). Please check out this video on youtube.com and search IBC Inflammatory and read this article on ibcresearch.org. These two websites will give you information symptoms and pictures on this type of cancer. This cancer is very aggressive and most of the time will not be found by having lumps in your breast or in a mammogram. So Please check this out because if you are someone who has these symptoms you will know to go to the doctor ASAP! PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT!!!!!!

Thanks for for letting me know that it is not new. I had read an article and it said it was a new form of BC. I just wanted to spread the word about this cancer because I have a lot of the symptoms and would not have ever thought that it might could be breast cancer. I am going to the doctor and have this checked out and I am not going to let them put it off as an infection or rash. I know there are a lot of woman that do not know about this type of BC. I have been to that website you mentioned and it really does have a lot of info, that is one of the websites I have listed on my post.

It's not new, but because it is somewhat uncommon compared to other breast cancers, and harder to spot, it has not gotten the exposure that other breast cancer has. That is now changing, and IBC patients have a lot more info out there than they did. Here is a link to an IBC research site. Lots of good info there. I found out something new by going there. The median age of discovery of IBC is about 10 years younger than the other BCs (age 52 vs age 62). Since it has different symptoms and can be hard to spot, that statistic can't mean that they are just FINDING it sooner than other cancer, but that it apparently tends to develop at a younger age. That's too bad, since increasing breast density is one of they symptoms, and that won't be picked up unless there have been previous mammograms that show less density. And because premenopausal women with dense breasts (fibrocystic changes) are quite common, the one woman with increasing density might get lost in the crowd if she has not already had a baseline mammogram.
