Did you know that there are different types of breast cancer?

Did you know that you can have breast cancer without having a lump?

Did you know that all breast cancers do not show up on a mammogram or an ultrasound?

Have you ever heard of Inflammatory Breast Cancer?

Not too long ago, Nina Anderson would have answered “no” to all of the above questions. If she had known some of these facts, she would have been more suspicious about her symptoms.

A health-conscious individual, Anderson regularly has a yearly mammogram and Pap test, and did monthly self-breast examinations. When she started experiencing fever, swelling, an inverted nipple, and redness in her right breast, the last thing she ever suspected was that she might have breast cancer.

Hardly ever been sick in her entire life, Anderson thought she had nothing to worry about — until she was diagnosed with a very lethal form of breast cancer known as Inflammatory Breast Cancer.

The Bumble Bee Miracle is the story of her dreadful ordeal — and miraculous survival. Anderson considers the sequence of events that led to her early diagnosis a miracle that saved her life.

Many women do not survive IBC because there is no lump involved and it cannot be detected by a mammogram or ultrasound. The only way to get a conclusive diagnosis is to perform a surgical biopsy of the breast and skin tissue. The symptoms of Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) are similar to a breast infection known as mastitis. Most women are diagnosed with mastitis or cellulites, and treated with antibiotics for two to three months. By that time, IBC has already evolved into an aggressive illness, rapidly spreading to other organs of the body and is already in the final stage of breast cancer.

The details of Anderson’s diagnosis and the eleven months of treatment that followed are vividly chronicled in this amazing story of survival.

During her very first chemotherapy treatment, an incident involving a bumble bee instilled a hope in Nina that would help to sustain her during the long, grueling months of treatment. She shares her experience in an effort to inform every woman about the symptoms of Inflammatory Breast Cancer, and how to cope and fight the deadly disease.

It is Anderson’s hope that The Bumble Bee Miracle will save lives. No woman should have to suffer the consequences of this disease because she has never heard of IBC or didn’t know about the symptoms. The message that Anderson wants to impart to IBC sufferers is clear: YOU CAN SURVIVE.
