I am a newbie to this site and wanted some advice and what is happening to me. To cut a long story short I am petrified I have ibc which has been ongoing for the past 2 months. To save the long post I will list what has happened:
Mid may noticed a red mark on right breast with some green discharge w hitch lasted 1 day. I was bf at the time.
A week later had rib paiin under same breast and was diagnosed with pluerasy.
Same time noticed a change in colour to nipple anaeroelastic and clear discharge with puffy nipple.
Saw a breast specialist 6th June who said was ordered but ordered ultrasound and mammogram all cam back clear.
Was still worried so made them do biopsy down side of breast but came back clear.
Awaiting MRI in 2 weeks time as can’t have one until 6 weeks after biopsy so told.
Also got other symptoms in last 2 weeks including lymph node raised which was checked and tolbeginning as only 0.6cm. Got fuzzy dizzy head for past week on and off and also got pains in left leg from knee up to thigh on and off that feels bruised.
Also had pain in breast for past 6 weeks from nipple to chest and in armpit, seems to have calmed down a bit now but stilluncomfortable in nipple area.
Seen 2 specialists as sought second opinion as first said come back in 4 weeks and left mefeeling petrified still.
Really need some help and advice.

Hi westmids , I know it’s scary and I can’t comment on your symptoms, but you’ve done all the right things. It’s good news your mammogram and ultrasound came back clear and you have been seen by a specialist. My surgeon told me on day of biopsy before results were back that it was cancer they have a lot of experience and you have to trust them. Obviously you will be anxious until you have all the answers but anxiety can heighten any symptoms considerably so this could be making you feel much worse.
keep pursuing if your not happy, but try and take your mind off it to. People on this forum are supportive so it might help to stay in touch. Try and keep busy, take care, x
Hi Lols thanks for your advice. It’s really hard to not think about it when I feel so poorly. I have 2 young children and solo scares they will gro upwithout a mum.
