Inflammatory breast cancer

Hello everyone,

I've recently gone for a private breast ultrasound after experiencing swelling and orange peel skin in my left breast.

The radiologist also found 4 enlarged lymph nodes in the left armpit and some mildly prominent collar bone lymph nodes (supervacular I think). She has suggested that the scan results are suspicious for IBC.

I do not have any redness, rash, hot skin or an inverted nipple.

I am currently breast feeding and also 11 weeks pregnant.

I have been booked for the breast clinic but I would just like to hear from those who have inflammatory breast cancer if possible. Are my symptoms similar to yours? 

I feel like the wait is making me lose my mind and my marriage and relationships are suffering.

I am 31 years old.

Thanks so much x
