Inflammatory breast cancer

Hi,

Today I was told my punch biopsy came back positive,  meaning the breast cancer has gone into my skin. Consultant didnt use the word "inflammatory" but did say this makes me more urgent...I was diagnosed 27th May but still waiting for treatment plan...they did say chemo first though. Be good to chat with anyone who has gone through/ is going through similar as I'm feeling very wobbly today x

  • Good luck with your treatment today Julie, hopefully you won't get the same side effects.

  • Hi Julie,

    I hope that your last chemo session went better than the previous one. Did you manage to get something more effective for the diarrhoea this time and have you had any scan results back yet?

  • Hi Jolamine,

    Thanks for checking in. Second cycle has been much like the first, back to the hospital 3 times and kept in overnight once. Diarrhea still the biggest issue but they have me codeine phosphate too which has helped a little. Lots of tests which seem to indicate it's a side effect rather than anything sinister which is good. 3rd chemo is this Thursday so I pretty much anticipate more of the same. On a positive note, the tumour is shrinking, 1cm less across and same from top to bottom. Small steps but it reminds me all this is worth it xx
