Nikki, a mother of two, shares her experience with inflammatory breast cancer, a rare form of cancer that often presents without a lump. Nikki’s cancer journey first began in 2016 when doctors discovered a stage 3 tumor in her lymph nodes and small bowel. Fortunately, the diagnosis was made in time and she underwent keyhole surgery to remove the cancer. However, in 2022, Nikki started experiencing pain in her right breast, specifically around her nipple. Despite a family history of breast cancer and the presence of other symptoms, such as an inverted nipple, she initially dismissed the pain. It wasn’t until her nipple became completely inverted that she made a doctor appointment. Her doctor referred her urgently for further testing, eventually leading to a diagnosis of stage 3 inflammatory breast cancer. In this story she highlights the importance of being vigilant about one’s health and advocating for oneself. It also sheds light on the lesser-known signs and symptoms of inflammatory breast cancer.
