Previous message:Can symptoms of inflammatory breast cancer change during the course of the day? For about four months I have constant symptoms that tend to worsen during the day. My breast is always pink(completely different from other breast) but many times during the day it seems to be much more red. My breast is always swollen(about twice the size of other breast). My breast always has small dimple-like areas but at some points they are larger. There is always a flattened area under breast which becomes more pronounced at times during the day. And last, but hopefully the least, my underarm area seems to be a bit more swollen(I can always feel it with arms down) and at some points during the day there is a huge difference between the two.I understand that inflammatory breast cancer is very serious and I hope I am not trivializing the symptoms of others, but there seems to be a lot going on with my breast all at once and I am scared. I left off that in Jan of 2004 I had a cyst drained with no blood. Above, I stated my armpit was swollen sometimes, but now it is constant and significantly larger than other, so I saw a dr this week and she thought there was nothing serious happening-said that this was probably due to an inflammatory process. But she also said that ibc almost always shows on mammograms and that there has to be severe symptoms to diagnose it. From what I have read, this is not true. I am worried about my armpit because all of this started in Feb in my breast and now seems to have spread to underarm. Is her explanation plausible or should I run to another dr?
