There's more than just one type of breast cancer in this world. Inflammatory breast cancer is one of them and it's a very rare type of cancer.
"Inflammatory breast cancer" has the same symptoms as inflammation. The symptoms are usually swelling, skin redness and pain. However, the symptoms for this kind of cancer are not caused by infection or injury. It is caused by cancer cells blocking the lymph vessels inside the skin.
So what are the symptoms of inflammatory breast cancer?
* Swelling of the breast. One breast will suddenly be much larger than the other. (The size change of the breast will occur between days to weeks.)
* Itching. (Do not overlook the itch if it occurs too frequently as it may be a sign of a sickness.)
* The breast looks red, purple, pink or bruised. Otherwise known as discoloration. It might have a texture which resembles an orange.
* Ridges, thickened areas on the skin of the affected breast. This is similar to an orange peel.
* Breast feeling unusually warm.
* Nipple retraction. (Nipple is flattened or is turned inwards.)
* Discharge coming out from the nipple.
* Breast pain. (Tenderness or aching too.)
* Enlarged nymph nodes. They occurred underneath the arm, above or below the collarbone.
These changes occur quickly, usually within a period of several weeks. This means that that the cancer cells spreads quickly and the possibility of surviving for longer than 5 years is less than 50%, with just a 40% survival rate based on studies made.
Please be aware that this kind of cancer may not form a lump, which is a common sign for many cancers do. If any of the above symptoms occurred to your breast or you have symptoms that worries you, please find your doctor to examine as quickly as possible as your health may be at risk.
Even though it isn't certain what the cause of inflammatory breast cancer might be, it's still best to have precautions by living life the healthy way, as an example eating the proper food, regular exercise and having sufficient rest. Women having a child before age 30 also decreases the chance of contracting breast cancer.
Start practicing a healthy lifestyle now before it is too late! Remember to get full body check-ups on a regular basis to detect for any changes within the body. Although it is said that women contracts breast cancer easier at a mature age, that doesn't rule out the possibility of contracting at a young age.
Be prepared for the future and maintain a healthy lifestyle from young!
