A rare but very aggressive type of cancer is Inflammatory breast cancer. The mortality rate for it is higher than that for most other cancers. Contrary to its name, it doesn't occur because of some inflammation; rather, inflammation is just a symptom in IBC. It is not confined to older women and can develop in very young women, too. Men are not totally protected from IBC, even though their risk is too low.

There are lymph vessels in the breasts. When a person develops IBC, the malignant cancerous cells block these vessels. IBC develops in women at a younger age, compared to other forms of breast cancer. Some studies also suggest that White people are less likely to develop this cancer than the African Americans, who are also said to be vulnerable at a younger age.
The progression of IBC is its most alarming feature. The time lapse between the first symptom appearing and the cancer reaching a very advanced stage may be leek than two weeks. This however, may be one of the reasons for early diagnosis of IBC, since the symptoms are very apparent early on due to the cancer's fast advancement.
The unique characteristic of Inflammatory breast cancer is that no lump formation is associated with it. This characteristic makes it all the more dangerous, because mammography and ultrasound can not detect it, and it often goes undiagnosed, or misdiagnosed. Biopsy is the best method for diagnosing IBC.
Typical symptoms for it are extreme reddish to purple-ish, bruised appearance of the breasts, tenderness and immense swelling, which accounts for its inflamed appearance. The skin around the breasts may be rough and uneven, the nipples may get inverted, there might be persistent itching and heaviness accompanied with meme iltihabı tedavisi burning aching sensations. Usual symptoms like change in color and texture of areola and breasts are present, too. You might also have swellings under your arm and above and below your collarbone, which you should never ignore.
The most common misdiagnosis of this is mastitis. Mastitis is just a breast infection that shows the same symptoms like redness and swelling, as IBC. After a week or two of treatment for mastitis, your symptoms should start disappearing; otherwise, it's not mastitis. Lymph vessels can get blocked because of other reasons than cancer, too, such as operations on the chest. This is not any type of cancer. The best way of making sure is getting a biopsy done.
Due to tremendous number of researches going into the field, Inflammatory breast cancer can be cured in almost fifty five out of every hundred IBC cases. What used to be a certain death two decades back is curable today! Today, the treatment for IBC is very extensive, although it gives a lot to hope for. Systemic therapies like chemotherapy and hormone treatments are backed up by surgeries like mastectomy and then by radiation therapy, to eliminate chances of a recurrence, and the treatment is done!
Yes, there is still a high mortality rate for Inflammatory breast cancer, but do not let that bring you down. You should keep in mind technology has bettered, and is still improving, and that there are people who love you. You will live as normally as you want to.
So, you have a breast infection. Not to fear. The single best remedy is some Raw Apple Cider Vinegar. Seriously. If you feel yourself coming down with a breast infection or mastitis, take several shots of Raw Apple Cider Vinegar throughout the day and it should clear up on its own pretty quickly.
Please, please try this BEFORE going to the clinic to get antibiotics. If you start taking antibiotics, it will wreak havoc not only on your gut, but on the gut of your little (or big) nursing baby (or toddler) as well. (Antibiotics will wipe out ALL of the bacteria in your system, including all the good stuff.) If, God forbid, you do take the antibiotics, PLEASE get yourself a really good probiotic and start drinking mass quantities of good-quality kefir ASAP (this will help re-establish the good bacteria in your gut).
And, of course, with a breast infection (as I'm sure you've read before), continue to nurse frequently on the affected breast, use warm compresses, etc. You've got to do everything you can to avoid being on antibiotics (the health of yours and your baby's gut depends on it), and taking the Raw Apple Cider Vinegar should definitely help with this.
Now, where can you get this Raw Apple Cider Vinegar, you may ask? Check your local food co-op, Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. Check the organic section of your local grocery store (if it has one). And try to have the stuff on hand just so it will be there in case you need it.
It would make a lovely gift at a baby shower.
