I went to my GP last week with some brushing and tenderness in my left breast.  I expected to be told it was menopausal but instead he said it looked like inflammatory breast cancer and arranged for an urgent referral.  The appointment is on Wed in 71hr 45min not that I'm counting.

I am 51 with two daughters 17 & 15.  I lost my mum many years ago to breast cancer and I do NOT want to leave my girls.

My husband knows and us coming to the clinic with me he is very much "don't worry until it happens" which is great but I can't help.

I keep having little crys and I cannot focus at work - my job involves 3-5 year planning I just keep thinking I may not be alive to see delivery of a project.

There is very little information about Inflammatory Breast cancer and what there is says how aggressive it is and difficult to treat.

I am so, so scared.  Not expecting and miracle advice from you all I just felt that I needed to make this real by saying it to people.
