Excellent video. Thank you for sharing!
I am glad to see someone working to inform people of this type of breast cancer.
My mother has inflamatory breast cancer.
When Mother went into the doctor's office, the nurse practitioner that met with her told her the thin layer of "orangepeel-like" texture under her skin was nothing to worry about. When Mother mentioned pain, the nurse said, "You're just making that up. No one feels pain like that unless it's terminal." Mother insisted that she see the doctor. The nurse gave her a hard time. She waited three hours in the office that day for an opportunity to speak with her physician. Her doctor knew it immediately when she showed him. This form of cancer is not rare, just rarely found. She had an MRI and biopsy that day, and they began chemo treatments within a week. The nurse apologized for her unprofessional behavior.
This was in April. She is still undergoing treatments, and she is responding well. Several rounds of chemo and a mastectomy later, she is out of extreme, immediate danger. It spread to her lymph nodes in late June, which gave everyone a scare. She still has another round of chemo and radiation treatments ahead of her.
