I still feel a little apprehensive about the appointment but your right it needs to be done sooner rather than later. I Hope and pray this is nothing too. I will let you know how i get on. Thank you again and take care. Kleofa.

Your breast DOES NOT need to be dimpled to be IBC. Best to rule it out. I gave you the doctor in Boston who is very familiar with IBC. That would be my best solution. Hoping it is nothing, but better safe than sorry. Patti If you were my daughter I would want a biopsy. Your breast DOES NOT need to be dimpled to be IBC. Best to rule it out.

Just make sure you ask if they have seen many cases of IBC, so they understand you want to RULE OUT IBC. If you have swelling with your itching and pain you should demand a biopsy as it is the only way to make sure one way or the other. Unless there is a defined lump, a mammogram will see right through the mesh like substance that makes up IBC. Praying this is nothing, but better to rule it out in the beginning as waiting is not an option with this fast moving culprit. Please let us know how you go.

I went to the doctors yesterday as I have been suffering from painful itchy breasts for about 2 weeks now and he has referred me to a breast specialist as he said he was concerned with unusual lumpyness i have in my breasts! Then he told me not to worry but I'm afraid its not been as easy as that as all I can think is the worst I have a horrible feeling. could this be IBC? I know this may be nothing to worry about has anyone had the same symptoms or simillar, what can i expect when i see the specialist? i'm actually scared about going. Thanks. Hi everyone,
