It’s not going away

Hello everyone, as many of you know I’ve posted here a few times before about my breast concerns it’s been 10 months now and still no change or anything getting better, I’ve tried pushing so hard for a biopsy but I just get constant ultrasounds. The ibc im so worried about I know doesn’t always show on an ultrasound and that leaves me worried, I’ve paid out so much to go private because I know my body and in my heart I know somethings wrong. They still can’t give me an answer as to what’s going on and I’m frustrated because the pain isn’t crippling, I now have a sunburn like feel to the skin of my breast that’s been ongoing for months. I’ve tried every pain med, creams you name it I’ve tried :( I’m waiting to be referred to pain management for chronic pain but I never feel ill get answers, I still have the constant pain on my breast and underarm, itchiness, spots on my chest and breast, slight pink/redness botching over my breast and honestly the fear, the pain is ruining my life. What else can I do i feel I’ve tried everything and ofc I want to accept it’s nothing serious, but I just can’t not with all this ongoing pain and symptoms. Has anyone else every expierienced these issue or have advice on what else I can do, I feel hopeless, depressed and just like my life’s falling apart :( thank you. 

  • Hi there,

    I can appreciate that it must be worrying for you if you don’t feel that your problems are being diagnosed properly.  Unfortunately, we cannot help you get a diagnosis. Only a doctor can diagnose you. If you are unhappy with the way you are being looked after by your current doctor you may want to consider getting a second opinion you can find out more about this here.  

    I hope you find the reassurance you need,
