I know all about breast cancer, as most of us should. My very close friend has been diagnosed with Inflamatory breast cancer. Her breast is swollen, red, hard and very hot. Plus her nipple has inverted. All this happened in a space of 4 days. Does anybody know anything about this type of cancer and if so, how aggressive is it? she is being a bit blaze about it, but think it may be nerves. thank you.

Hello, here are some links for your and your friend to read.
Breast Cancer is highly curable now. My cousin has been having treatments last summer and she is okay now but has to be monitored every 6 months.

It can be very aggresive---just like all cancers. It depends on the stage they caught it in.
