Dear lindamonika: If this is not determined to be an infection, then it would be important to determine what it is. Inflammatory breast cancer usually presents as a red, hot, inflammed appearing breast, with or without a lump. A skin biopsy can often provide diagnosis. On the other hand, though a negative core biopsy is good news, a core biopsy only gets a small sample of tissue. It is possible that it could miss tissue of concern. Hopefully, the lymph node biopsy will shed some light on the source of the problem. If not, you should discuss with your breast specialist whether an excisional biopsy should be done.
Have you seen a surgeon, or have all the biopsies been done by radiologists? If you haven't, you ought to see a breast surgeon.
The breast biopsies were done by my breast surgeon. The lymph node biopsy today will be done by a radiologist.
