It was so great to hear from you knowing you beat IBC. Breast cancer was not in my family so when I woke up one morning to find my left breast double the size of my right I panicked called the doctor to make an appointment that night. I went to work that day and looked on the internet BIG MISTAKE. The symptoms I had were the same for premenopausal mastitis and inflammation breast cancer. The doctor put me on penicillin and then antibiotics and they did nothing then went to a breast surgeon and he quickly ran heaps of tests th following week. It wasn't till the following Thursday the 20th June that we were told the bad news I had IBC and it had moved to my lymph nodes under my arm and up to the clavicle region below the base of my neck .
I just got my wig cut yesterday and bought a couple of warm winter hats to wear to and from work . I read everthing you wrote and thankyou it was really helpful.
Your the best Tanya....
