I have been on antibiotics for 4 days and have yet to notice a change in my breast. I see an oncologist tomorrow to hopefully rule out IBC. What else could it be? The itching has mostly stopped and I don't have any other symptoms, just a big red mark that wraps 1/2 way around my breast. I was very scared at first and now I am just hoping to get some answers and rule out IBC.
Thank for posting up the information you found. It all sounds like the story I am going through. I clearly have the majority of IBC symptoms but why is my surgeon ignoring it? Could it be something else? Right now I have to turn to GOD to give me patients, deliverance and my physician wisdom.
Thank you NED for your love, concern, and support for people like me left in the dark.
Be Blessed

I HAVE IBC AND I HAD 4 DOCTORS TELL ME THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN IT IN PERSON. QUESTION YOUR SURGEON~~~~~~~~NOW~~~~~~
Dear Jessica, Thank you for sharing your story. Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) is a rare type of breast cancer accounts for only 1 to 4 percent of all breast cancers. It is called inflammatory because the first symptoms are usually a redness and warmth in the skin of the breast, often without a distinct lump. It will often be thought of as infection and be treated with antibiotics. IBC would not get better on the antibiotics. That
