I got diagnosed with inflamatory  breast cancer grade 3 this morning I am so scared. I dont think I actually took much in of whats happening. I know I have to have chemo and a mastectomy . I am so worried im not goung tonsurvive this even though the consultant said its curable. Has anyone else been through inflamatory breast cancer?

    Hi Katdea I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis.  It is so scary when you first find out you have cancer isn't it.  I do not have inflammatory breast cancer but lobular breast cancer.  You will survive this and as the consultant says it is curable.  If you go onto the Macmillan website, there is a forum for breast cancer and some of the ladies on there have inflammatory breast cancer.  Good luck and happy to chat.

    Hi Katdea yes I know what you mean, the waiting is the worst bit.  Once I knew I had cancer I just wanted the treatment to start immediately.  Are you having the chemo first.  I had lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy and then had chemo.  I was 47 when diagnosed.  It is hard but you will get through it.  Big hugs.
