Granulomatous mastitis

Hi there

Has anybody here had or have granulomatous mastitis? It mimics inflammatory breast cancer and I've had it 3 years x

  • Hello I have been diagnosed with GM in April. I am waiting to hear about treatment. I'd be really interested to hear how everyone has been treated. Has anyone had success with steroid injections, has anyone had no treatment and it's gone away? Mine developed when I was unwell with covid 19. Waiting is the worst! 

  • Hi, I'm sorry to hear that. I got diagnosed with GM in March and I'm still waiting for treatment. First I was waiting for a referral to a rheumatologist but there was an issue and now the breast clinic have said they can treat me. They started with a steroid ointment and when I went to the pharmacy they said it didn't excist. So I went back to the breast clinic and they prescribed me hydrocortisone.05% it turns out it's out of stock and I'm now waiting for another prescription via post. I have an appointment with the breast clinic end of month so we will see... I hope you don't have to wait that long. How do you feel about it all? Sending you a big cuddle! X
