Inflammatory Breast Cancer warning

Hello Ladies out there,
I just got this video (from KOMO 4 News) sent to me in an e-mail about Inflammatory Breast Cancer. I figured that my blog gets some attention so I should pass the word on... The video is kind of graphic, but definitely worth your attention for about ten minutes...

I can't figure out how to upload it because it is a copy of a newscast (I tried a couple times), but I can e-mail it to you... if you e-mail me your address (put "IBS video" as your subject heading so I can get it from my trash can). I'll keep trying to upload it.

The symptoms of this kind of breast cancer are:
Rapid increase in breast size
Redness
Skin hot to the touch
Persistent itching
Thickening of breast tissue

It is diagnosed by MRI or biopsy.

According to the video, this kind of cancer is largely unheard of and even some of the cancer help lines that they phoned hadn't heard of it.

Spread the word!!!
