Scared Inflammatory breast cancer

2 weeks ago half my breast turned pink overnight.  No other symptoms.  Was given antibiotics for 2 weeks that haven't worked.  Although looks better to how it was.  I attended the breast clinic fortunately mammogram and ultrasound normal and so was the skin punch biopsy.  Returning to the breast clinic on Friday but I'm very very scared.  Please help I also really suffer with health anxiety 

  • Hi Jaswan and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry to hear about your symptoms and for the anxious wait you now until you return to the breast clinic on Friday.

    So many of our members who have been in this position will completely understand what you're going through at the moment, so you are not alone Jaswan, and I'm sure it won't be long until some of them stop by to offer their support and advice.

    I hope you can take some reassurance from the positive results you've had so far and that some of our tips on how to cope with waiting for news will help to ease your mind but if it would help to have a chat with one of our cancer nurses about any of this, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very easy to talk to and will do all they can to support you at this time.

    We're thinking of you Jaswan and will have our fingers crossed for a good outcome.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
