i was dx at 54 w/inflammatoy breast cancer stage 3. this kind of bc is only found in 1-5% of bc's. my breast turned pink but thinking it was mastitis & no lump, i didn't go to the dr. for several wks. when it didn't go away. luckily no metastases to other parts of body. proceeded w/chemo, surgery & radiation & medication & happy to say i am a 10 yr. survivor though only 20-40% make it past 5yrs. this kind of cancer usually presents w/no lump, so one must always check for changes on the breast. most often women are in stage 4 when discovered.
