She went to a surgen and was told it a rare form of Breast Cancer and they want to remove her breast in 2 weeks - I've been on line and cannot find out anything about this - it's seems very drastic. please advise

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Red areola with painful tumour is seen in inflammatory carcinoma of breast. However it can be something elese. You should go for mammography and biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
