Has anyone been diagnosis with IBC?
by coloagurl, Jun 08, 2007 12:00AM
I’m just not feeling comfortable with my current physicians. I feel like I am getting the run around. I have been doing some research on IBC and can say that I have been showing most of the symptoms rather then mastitis, the diagnosis my physician said I may have. I have not gotten better from the antibiotics he has put me on. Can someone tell me what type of biopsy or testing I should have done to detect IBC? I am also 29 weeks pregnant and I just want to find a safe way to test for IBC. I do have a lump under my arm as well, can they do a biopsy there?

REQUEST A REFFERALL FROM YOUR PRIMARY DOCTOR TO SEE AN ONCOLOGIST, THE ONCOLOGIST CAN BETTER DETERMINE IF IT IS I B C.

You need a punch biopsy of the skin where the redness is. This will then be tested by a pathologist to see if cancer is present. It is the only failsafe method of a proper diagnosis. No doctor can tell if you have breast cancer just by looking, no mtter what they say.
