There is not just one type of breast cancer in this world. Inflammatory breast cancer is one of them and it is a very rare type of cancer.
“Inflammatory breast cancer” has the same symptoms as inflammation. The symptoms are typically swelling, skin redness and pain. However, the symptoms for this kind of cancer usually are not caused by infection or injury. It is caused by cancer cells blocking the lymph vessels in 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 since it could be a sign of a sickness.)
* The breast looks red, purple, pink or bruised. Otherwise called discoloration. It may have a texture which is identical 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 from 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, usually within a time of several weeks. This means that that the cells of cancer spreads quickly and the possibility of surviving for longer than 5 years is less than 50%, with only a 40% survival rate according to research made.
Please note that this sort of cancer may not form a lump, which is a common sign for many cancers do. If some of the above symptoms occurred to your breast or you have symptoms that worries you, please find your doctor to examine asap as your health may be in danger.
Although it is not certain what the cause of inflammatory breast cancer could be, it’s still better to have precautions by living life the healthy way, for example eating the right food, exercising regularly and having sufficient rest. Ladies having kids before the age of 30 also decreases the chance of contracting breast cancer.
Start practicing a healthy lifestyle now before it’s too late! Remember to get full body check-ups on a regular basis to detect for any changes in the body. Although it is said that females contracts breast cancer easier at a mature age, that doesn’t rule out the potential of contracting at a young age.
Be prepared for the future and maintain a healthy lifestyle from now on!
