Edit by Veggie - TV clip about Inflammatory Breast Cancer

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.

Wow. Thank you.

I can't get it to play

Me either.What is it about?

Sarah Ann 06-22-2006 08:41 AM

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.

Paget's disease by any chance?

I have no idea what this is - joke or serious - I can't get it to play. :?:

veggie 06-22-2006 09:21 AM

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. :)

Yes I couldn't get it to play in Opera - just IE

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 -

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.
