I am wondering about 2 things.
1. My boob is very, very swollen (almost twice the size of the other)
When I look at the area below my nipple and below my breast where most of swelling is, there is light bruising colour and pitting to the skin.
Now that I have seen it, I cannot unsee it. Can I ask the doctor to test for IBC or would they have done that when they confirmed IDC??
2. No-one has actually shown me any results. No mammogram images, no pathology reports. I have gotten all my information from just what I remember being told.
When I asked for copies, I was told that having them would make me fret and be depressed. I cannot help feeling that they are putting their own bias on me.
I think maybe the reason I don't want to tell anyone is because, other than a dramatic looking boob and a referral letter, I have no real belief myself.
