It took months to finally be diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancerening

Although this happened nearly two years ago I wish to share my distressing experience so others will be more aware if in the same situation.  It was late 2014 when I felt a hardening behind my left nipple.  fearing cancer (I had early breast cancer in same breast in 2006) I went to my GP who sent me for an X-ray. Results was 'all clear'. Meanwhile the hardening got a bit bigger so GP sent me for a mammogram. result 'all clear'. Weeks went by, the hardening spread further, again another visit to GP and sent off for an ultrasound.  'All clear'.  No one seemed to be taking notice of this hardening, which by now feeling like a Breast implant.  I didn't know what to do so in desperation rang a Breast care nurse.  BLess her!  she made an appointment with a Breast specialist.  so in May 2015, my left Breast now larger than my right, the specialist said she was almost certain it was Cancer, took a biopsy and  booked relevant  scans etc and even chemo to start within the week subject to confirmation. PHone call next day confirmed 'positive' with a few appointments in the following days and started chemo at the end of the week.
Now after 4 1/2 months of weekly chemo then a double mastectomy in October I am once again Cancer free.
