Breast cancer ear and neck involvement?

Hi all,

Has anyone ever heard of breast cancer (IBC or other) spreading up the neck to cause neck, ear, and head pain on that side?  I have a swollen axillary node and pain in my breast and up my neck to my ear and head and nobody can figure it out, even breast specialists.  Does this sound famiiar to anyone?
Thanks so much for any info.

Do you have any nausea, wondering1719

PS:  I am hardly an expert or professional and for all know you have a sinus ingection which often also hurts in the neck and ears and can make you nauseous. But I would feel badly saying one without the other especially since you asked specifically.

Best, Katrin  and please let us know, or me??

If any kind of neck and ear pain does not go away very soon, yes, that is what you should tell your doctors, that someone on the Internet told you to have a brain MRI who had similar symptoms, and it was a food thing I did. If you were diagnosed with IBC I would call tomorrow.

if this does not get better soon, and you also notice sounds being either too load or otherwise you cannot hear them at all, or not like normal, you may want to ask your doctor about an MRI of the brain to make sure nothing bad is going that way?

Do you actually have IBC? Because the type and severity of your initial diagnosis does matter, or at least it helps to know.
