Ibc

I had a red mark that resembles a hicky come up on my breast which was relatively big and hot and extremely itchy. I went to the doctors due to my family history of breast cancer. The doctor wants me to wait two weeks before she refers me. I then went to a and e the following day as my breast was extremely painfully, breast felt inflammed, itchy even though the rash type hicky mark was reducing but had not gone away it was a Saturday so couldn't see go. I now have to wait another few days before I can go back to the GP to be referred. I am extremely worried as with it being such an agressive cancer you would think they would want to act quickly rather than waiting weeks. They have ruled out mastitis and infection so I thought it would make sense to investigate fully for peace of mind surely. Feeling sad as it is not the happy new year you want without knowing what's install for you

  • Hi Bobby 1234

    I have breast pain and some burning/itching pain around armpit 10 days before Christmas.  I went to Gp as it was initially just pain.  Told to rest take Naproxen.  Also told it would be 6 seeks before I could see a consultant 

    On Boxing day lots if pain so phoned 111, couldn't get through so managed to book appointment through Babylon Health and got an appointment this week.   

    I read about IBC and extremely worried cos of the aggressiveness.  Due to hols it makes the waiting time unbearable.

    Hope you get on OK.  Here if you need a chat

     

  • Thank you it's just so worrying with the agressiveness of ibc as the fact that GPS don't see to act straight away considering it can be deadly. I hope your ok too hopefully it will be nothing serious xx
