Exclamation A serious post for the girls *PLEASE READ!*

Please watch this news clip from the states - if I hadn't heard of this, chances are you haven't either!

Thank you for this, its something we should all be aware of. I'd never heard of it either and after watching the clip I've looked it up on Google and, frankly, I'm horrified we aren't being educated about it.

Keep trying the clip, there just might be a lot of people trying to view it.

Its about a type of breast cancer that I've never heard of before. It doesn't have the same type of symptoms as the breast cancer we all know about and by the time you've figured out that theres something wrong it could be too late to do anything about it. The clip shows (among other things) what sort of changes in our breasts we need to be watching out for.

I had to switch to IE to see it.

Ok it's a long tv clip about breast cancer.

I've edited in the first post to say what is it.

Very scary! We do all need to know about it, mind you if people in cancer centers don't have a clue, we're not going to be that educated about it either, but hopefully because of that news cast, we'll all be made more aware.

Thanks Mystic

Sorry, for those that can't open the video, here is a link to the cancer back up site -
http://www.cancerbackup.org.uk/Cance...rybreastcancer

It's about Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) which is a particularly aggressive form of breast cancer, which unfortunately very few women seem to have any knowledge of.
