hi all,
My husband has had granulomatus mastitis for about 3 years now. In the beginning nobody recognised what it was and while in A&E when it first erupted, a doctor was actually squeezing the pus out while my husband yelled in agony. His blood pressure was VERY high and infection was really bad. He had a week's stay in hospital on an antibiotic drip. Biopsies, xrays and drains followed and eventually GM was diagnosed. Since then he's been treated by a rheumatologist and has been on steroids, BP tablets and Omaprezole for his stomach. There's been no sign of the horrid thing until January, when he was taken off the tablets. Now it's back to square one and he has another abscess, and more pain. The consultant rheumatologist has told him she's never seen it in a male. His own GP actually said its way out of her league.
Please forgive me if you think perhaps I shouldn't post this on a cancer forum.
Will it EVER go away or be cured? Does anyone here have any knowledge of the condition in a male?
