In 2013, she was diagnosed with stage 3 inflammatory breast cancer. Please look into this type of cancer. It is rare, it is fast growing, and it is very aggressive.

We were blessed.
Anyone who has been reading my blog or follows me on social media knows that I recently lost my mother to this cancer. There was a relapse, only this time because of the type of cancer she had, it spread throughout her body and into her major organs before anyone knew what was happening to her.
The thing that people don't understand about the importance of awareness is, the doctors don't know much about cancers like this. Nothing is guaranteed. Learning all we can about this is important because, the sooner it's spotted, the more time a doctor has to react and learn how to give you your best chance.
My mom wanted people to learn about this cancer and to share what they know with others. She didn't want people to go thru what she went through. So this has become very important to me.
Please take a moment to study up on this cancer and be informed that just because it isn't noticed on a mammogram, doesn't mean it isn't there. Inflammatory breast cancer is a rare aggressive cancer, but it is not so rare that it can't affect you.
