There's more than just one type of breast cancer in this world. Inflammatory breast cancer is one of them and it's a pretty rare type of cancer.
"Inflammatory breast cancer" has got the same symptoms as inflammation. The symptoms are normally swelling, skin redness and pain. Nonetheless, the symptoms for this kind of cancer are not caused by infection or injury. It's caused by cancer cells blocking the lymph vessels in the skin.
So do you know 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 disregard the itch if it occurs too frequently as it might be a sign of a sickness.)
* The breast looks red, purple, pink or bruised. Otherwise known as discoloration. It could have a texture which is similar to an orange.
* Ridges, thickened areas on the skin of the affected breast. This is just like an orange peel.
* Breast feeling unusually warm.
* Nipple retraction. (Nipple is flattened or is turned inwards.)
* Discharge coming out through the nipple.
* Breast pain. (Tenderness or aching too.)
* Enlarged nymph nodes. They occurred under the arm, above or below the collarbone.
These changes occur quickly, generally within a period of few weeks. This means that that the cancer cells spreads quickly and the chance of surviving for more than five years is less than 50%, with just a 40% survival rate according to research made.
Please note 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 a doctor to examine as quickly as possible as your life may be in danger.
Even though it isn't certain what the cause of inflammatory breast cancer might be, it is still better to have precautions by living life the healthy way, for instance eating the proper food, exercising regularly and having sufficient rest. Women having children before age 30 also decreases the risk of contracting breast cancer.
Start practicing a healthy lifestyle now before it is too late! Don't forget to get full body check-ups regularly to detect for any changes within the body. Although it's said that women contracts breast cancer easier at a mature age, that does not eliminate the potential of contracting at a young age.
Be prepared for the future and maintain a healthy lifestyle from now on!
