IBC: Something all women should know about (and I don't mean the root beer)

I try to be informed about my health, at least as much as the next person, and I make it my business to research important health issues affecting my home and my loved ones. This, however, was a complete surprise to me. Have you ever heard of IBC, more lengthily known as Inflammatory Breast Cancer? I had not until I received a video emailed to me by my mom. This is a sneaky and deadly cancer, perhaps so many times over because so few women know that it exists and know what to watch for. I know how to look for a lump in my breast, but I had no idea that a spot looking like a bug bite could be equally devastating, if not more so. If you have never heard of this, or even if you have, please watch this video, learn about the signs, become your own educated advocate, and then pass this information on to all the women you love. Lack of information is the biggest killer out there.

The video will not embed in our site, so please click on the link below to watch it on YouTube, or on the link below that read a written article.
