Inflammatory breast cancer at 23??

Good evening all

Please read I'm at a complete loss and after so long of having so much hope. It's slowly fading away cause day by day I'm faced with another worry. 
i have a one and a two year old. I cannot bare the thought of anything happen to me. 

So my situation at the moment is

Back in March, I had a small lump removed by a dermatology biopsy. The results came back a while later but weren't clear. They said it seemed to be "deep inflammation". 
When I say "lump" I mean it was more of a red bruise-like bump on the surface of my skin. Almost like a thickening. 

anyway they said they'd like to review the area in 3 months. 5 month have passed. So last week I rang and explained that I have since had another "lump" identical to the other one. Except bigger. Same breast. Near enough same place. They looked again. Referred me back to dermatologist. 
a few days later, pain in the armpit. More tenderness than pain. But would hurt when pressed. Went back, "oh probably nothing 23 year olds don't tend to get breast cancer" "I can't feel a lump in the tissue" (even though I said IBC doesn't always present a lump) but said they'd refer me to breast clinic anyway. But because of my age, and because they aren't worried. I could be looking at a 3 month + waiting list. Fine. 

However, this evening. I've noticed quite bad dimpling on the same breast. And it's not just one small indent. It's quite clearly a lot of dimpling. I've had a bath. Left it a few hours wondering if it would go back to normal. 

Still the same and I've noticed if I raise my arm it goes deeper. Now I know I can't say it is this. However I'm starting to feel as though there's nothing else it could be. 
breast cancer is common in my family.

But the thing that's concerning me most is that the signs I'm showing is of IBC and it's the most aggressive and hardest to diagnose. 

Is there anyone who's experience anything similar that can shed some light? Don't worry about scaring me at all Im not naive I know it may be nothing for me. I just want to communicate with someone who may understand my worries and emotions

thank you so much

if this is cancer, im not scared of that. I'll be ready for the fight. But I just fear any of it affecting my boys. 

  • Please go back to your gp. I had inflammatory breast cancer at 45 and was told by my Doctor it couldn't possibly be cancer as I was too young. My skin started dumpling and the breast was turning grey before I was seen at my hospital. My Oncology surgeon was really angry that my go had left it so long (2 months) before being sent. I am still here 22 years later although I have since had cancer 4 times now in all..

    Please don't be fobbed off. Stick to your guns and demand a second opinion. Good luck I hope you get this sorted out soon.

  • Hello, I don't have experience of this myself but i lost my mam to IBC back in 2012. She was given 3 courses of antibiotics because they said it was just an infection, even though she had breast cancer in the same breast years before this. The symptoms she had were dimpling of the skin, almost looked like orange peel, her breast eventually started to grow in size and it was constantly red and angry looking.

    Please go back to your GP and keep pushing them.
