Information

What...
Common IBC Symptoms:

  • a swollen breast
  • a painful breast
  • incessant itchy breast
  • a rash on one breast
  • a bug bite that won't go away
These symptoms may appear overnight without warning. If they do not go away with creams, ointments or antibiotics, demand that your doctor rule out IBC.

Things You need to know:
Mammograms usually don't pick up IBC because normally there is no lump that women are told to look for.

Why - Reason #1
Doctors misdiagnose Inflammatory Breast Cancer as mastitis.

Why - Reason #2
We need to push this message across the country.

Who..
Our group of dedicated advocates are, and a brief message about each one of us.

Tips:
On the top of most of the included pages of this website, you will find TIPS. These are TIPS that doctors and patients have given to people dealing with first symptoms of Inflammatory Breast Cancer, plus TIPS from patients who have gone through chemotherapy.

Education is the MOST powerful tool

in the fight against misdiagnosis and improper treatment of Inflammatory Breast Cancer..

Our Foundation's mission is to educate the public and the medical community when needed, that this form of breast cancer is different and is rarely picked up by mammograms.

Towards this mission, the fourth Wednesday of the month our radio show, called IBC FACT & FALLACIES, will dispel the myths and help educate our listeners.

KOMO TV, Seattle Washington, The Original "Silent Killer" Video


The above educational video, which has circled the internet since May of 2006, plus the many stories Michelle Esteban has done since, have moved IBC past the word rare. KOMO TV in Seattle Washington put in motion an amazing eye opening experience for millions of viewers. Michelle has continued with a series of stories regarding IBC, winning Emmy's for her contribution to our cause. Beside Michelle is Jon Knorr, her phenomenal cameraman, who has been incredibly sensitive to the issue and with remarkable patience. We all want to thank him. Also, without Fisher Communications studios, (KOMO) none of the pieces that have garnered so much attention across the U.S. and the world would ever have taken place. Thank you to the entire team.

Thank you for visiting, and please share your thoughts in our guest book. We are here to help.
