CANDP invites all users to help prevent some unnecessary deaths.
Every female on this planet should be made aware of this potential killer. Please click on this link to view a short video on Inflammatory Breast Cancer( IBC). Few are aware of it’s existence. Help spread awareness. Thank you.

Thank you CandP. This is something that definitely needs to be checked on regularly. My fiance’s mother’s cancer started there and spread to her stomach and lungs. She died from it over 2 years ago. My aunt also died from breast cancer about 1 year ago. She only knew about it for 10 months when she died. It does kill very rapidly, so all you ladies out there get checked!!!
Well, fortunately for me, if I see one of the symptoms listed, “rapid increase in breast size”, it will be incredibly obvious considering the size of mine now. SO I’ll keep an eye out for that!
**don’t mean to take away from the seriousness of the condition with a bit of humor. Thanks for the post.
Mitz, if you watch the video link this type of cancer is not detected by feeling a lump or regular mammograms. That is why this is so very important to spread around the awareness of it.
**and thanks for the link to the article.**
No I hadn’t heard of this one yet either.
We could not believe when they said most doctors haven’t heard of it either and they were diagnosing it as probable bug bites to women that came in to the office.
Yes, it’s frightening how much we and our physicians still don’t know. Unfortunately, only by trial and error do we even discover some things.
“I wanna be one less (one less!)…,”
Yes, they have been promoting Gardasil like crazy. I can’t get that little advertising chant out of my head!
Thanks, CandP. News to me.
Thanks for the information. I went to your link and wow! that is scary that not alot of women have heard of this form of breast cancer.
Thank you guys.
I just want to add that in general, for all issues, if you don’t feel good you should speak up. Women are often stereotyped as “complainers” and many refrain from mentioning “little things” because of it. I personally waited too long to get myself checked out because I tried to brush of my symptoms as simply “little things”. Makes it a lot worse in the long run. Always, always better safe than sorry.
Good health to all!

thank you candp for your advice. i have a test scheduled for thursday for a mammogram hope every thing goes well.
We totally agree with Adrianna. Don’t rely on the healthcare people to find what may be wrong with you. Education, education, education!!! Yvn3, Our thoughts are with you when you go on thursday.
cadp so you mean if you see signs of breast swelling there maybe a possibly of cancer
i could’nt see video but i read article
i will ask questions, wow this is a trip i was kinda worried about going i keep getting sinus infection and sometimes i think my breast swells then when take antibotics they shrink it’s crazy.
Don’t assume anything. Have it checked out. Don’t stress yourself for no reason. If you have questions, write them down and ask the doc all of them.
thanks again for the information
i believe that God gives every one a time he isnt gonna take u home unless he is ready
The cure for cancer has to be invented- fast!
not only breast cancer, but all types..
a few days ago my grandmother died of pancreatic cancer, and she was only diagnosed with it two weeks before her death.
Pancreatic cancer is one (if not the most) of the types of cancer which are very hard to diagnose, and even harder to cure.

I received a mail like this iam from formosa in argentina and i commit the huge mistake of sending the person all the requested information. woulkd it be negative for my mail box? what can i do?
Thanks for your words of incouragement,and support.thank god for angles like u!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for your help and the information. I posted a bulletin on my myspace about it and said for all the people to Pass it on.
lynell, thank you
angel, good job
I think in the case of doctors (any maybe everything) there is no such thing as a stupid question. So many docs these days spend very little time with their patients, but you’re paying money to see them, so make sure you get things checked out and feel assured of everything when you leave. Cancer is one of the most horrible illnesses out there, and taking the time to get a check up can save your life.
Thanks so much for posting this Candp.
Hi ameliad, You are absolutely on target. We are responsible for becoming our own advocates. If a Doctor does not listen, or seems in a hurry to get to his next patient, we must have the courage to insist on his/her attention.
Welcome to help.com ameliad.

Thanks Carol. For years I just let the doctors do what they wanted, but I’ve realised that even they can have other things on their mind, so sometimes you have to take a bit of control in order to set your mind at ease.
And thank you for the welcome, there’s a lovely community here on help.com

Wow you’ve been around forever, almost 3 years… how old is this site? It’s breast awareness month everyone should get a mammogram every year if you are 40 or older. Do it now.
Hi Dr. Ralph, This site began in Dec. 2005 if I remember correctly. It was more or less concept/experiment with a hand full of users by January, Jeff was the developer and C.M. Thiesen was the Mod.
Well whoever Jeff is he should know someone has messed with his product and it is no longer refreshing itself if that is the right terminology. Maybe you could send word? Nice to meet you candp….
Nice to meet you also. Jeff pops on the site from time to time but really don’t see him interacting at all. We were gone for quite a while and when we came back we noticed how this site has deteriorated. At present, we really don’t have an admin to talk with that can take care of any site problems. Perhaps in the future. Until then, we have to enjoy what is left of it. Carol
Yeah it is still a great way to have discussions with people from all over the world. It has definitely taught me a lot about how much different and alike at the same time people from other nations are.
You may find this interesting, Geneticists have recently discovered that we all have evolved with the same DNA from scientific Adam, and scientific EVE, who were born 200,000 years ago in Africa. All humans alive today trace back to them, no matter what your race or nationality. How separate are we really? Carol

Do you have any links to the information about that discovery Candp?
Go to National Geographics website and see if you can find a documentary that aired last month titled, “The Human Family Tree”. This project has been going on for about ten years now. The worlds best Geneticists are scouring the globe for DNA samples, funded by IBM, and what our DNA is demonstrating is that we all come from the same root DNA of two people that existed about 200,000 years ago. The documentary traces how our species broke off into different groups that migrated across the globe. Turns out our skin color and features were genetically affected due to climate, not superiority, as far too many like to believe. Hope this helps. Carol
BTW, if you cannot find the documentary, National Geographic Magazine, Sept 09 issue covered this story. If you are in the US the library would probably have it.
Yeah I have seen the map that shows the different DNA strains and where they migrated to. All from the same starting place though. Kind of reinforces the idea that extra terrestrial’s dropped off a seedling to populate the earth. Or God. Mitichondrial Adam & Eve I think they are called. U.S. News and World Report covered this back in 2001.
Dr. Ralph, The research project was updated in a two hour documentary in September, titled “The Human Family Tree”. In their earlier research they figured humans were around for about 60,000 years. Now research has shown them humans have been around about 200,000 years.
There is a tribe in Africa today where there DNA has never been mixed with any migratory DNA because several humans chose to stay put over these 200,000 years and their DNA shows them being direct descendants of Scientific Adam and Scientific Eve (That is what they referred to them as in this past Documentary.) They, in no way. imply these were the first two humans. They claimed these two were the first to have their DNA carry through to the present. It is all so very interesting. Whether one chooses to believe we are from aliens or the Divine, what this proves is that we are not as separate, or different as we seem to think we are. Carol
Thank you.
You are welcome Jason. Let me know what you think, OK Carol
