Important Information for Women

http://www.komotv.com/ibc/


A friend sent this to me. Could save your life or the life of someone you love. What's scary is how few people (including those in the medical profession) are aware of this and the fact that it can resemble a bug bit in the early stages and cannot be detected with mammograms or self brest exams.


You can read the article or watch the news story at this site. Also, if you want more information, I've found these sites:
http://www.ibcresearch.org/
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/inflammatory-breast-cancer/DS00632/DSECTION=1
http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Sites-Types/IBC
http://www.ibchelp.org/

If you know someone who has been diagnosed with IBC, this may be a useful site. Also more information.
