Where can women see pictures of inflammatory breast cancer? I couldn't find one in all my medical books.

I was trying to get pictures for some women who were concerned with IBC, I am an ARNP in surgical oncology. Founder www.mybreastcanceranswers.com
Please message me with any other IBC resources as I have some patients who would be interested as IBC survivors.
Thanks,
Heather

Thanks to 'ibcsurvivor' who posted that photos are available at www.ibcresearch.org, our website! It is challenging to find good representative photos of inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). IBC can present in many different ways and medical textbook photos often show very advanced, rather extreme cases. Not everyone presents with a totally red, swollen breast as is often described.

The Inflammatory Breast Cancer Research Foundation has been in the process of updating the photo section of the website. There are more photos of primary disease and new ones of skin metastasis. Coming soon will be a patient's journey from diagnosis through treatment, in pictures.

The organization welcomes photos from patients who are willing to share and we're particularly interested in expanding the photo section to include a broader range of skin tones and ethnicities. Photos are posted anonymously to protect confidentiality. Hopefully this is a valuable resource for those who have worrisome symptoms and need guidance.
