Hiya

What on earth makes you think that is cancer hun? It doesn't sound anything like it to me so try not to worry. Noooooooo googling either (naughty naughty) Lol.

Try to distract yourself from thinking about it and don't keep checking either or poking and prodding because it will just irritate the area.

I'm sure you're just fine
Love Lisa

Hello,

My fear has always been breast cancer, so i know how any little change we notice sets alarm bells ringing. I have some small red spots on my breast - they have been there for a long time, and haven't caused any problems, and i know it is not linked to any kind of breast cancer. Please do not google, however tempting it might be, because it always ends in disaster - it just feeds our anxiety. I would imagine inflammatory breast cancer would be very painful as most inflammatory conditions are, so please don't worry about the red spots.

I am sure that you don't have inflammatory breast cancer.:hugs: Apparently it's very rare and the symptoms are the whole of the breast may have redness, swelling and warmth. It doesn't say anything about any spots.:unsure: It also says the skin may appear pitted like the skin of an orange.

Other symptoms include heaviness, burning, aching, increase in breast size, tenderness, or a nipple that is inverted.

I'm okay googling that cos I was at the breast clinic last Monday and had two mammograms and an ultrasound and everything was okay - my lump was a cyst.:)


Oh Dear God your post just put on foot in the grave. I know for sure that I'm dying of Breast cancer now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A lot of women have one breast bigger than the other so please don't panic - it's very very rare so I'm sure you don't have it. My breasts also are lumpy - its very common. Go to your doctor and I'm sure he will put your mind at rest for you.:hugs:

Deep breaths, always scared.

When I've got into a panic about an illness, I've sometimes managed to calm myself down by asking: what difference will it make to me to panic at this point? If I'm convinced that I've got something, then I've got it and panicking and running around with my hands in the air is not going to make the slightest, tiniest bit of difference to having it or not. Then I start to calm down and realise that I don't have it. And neither do you.

Think about this: if you had serious, agressive cancer, would you have had it "for ages"? Would you able to carry on with your day-to-day life if it really was an agressive inflammatory cancer that had been there since the spots or indenting appeared? No. Lots of difference benign or mild conditions might cause the symptoms that you can see.

Go to the doctor, find out what it is, get reassurance and calm down.

Most people have one breast bigger than another. For many, many years my nipples use to dry out and become brown. I use to remove the dead 'skin' and it was only when I started putting Vaseline on them and wearing a looser bra did they improve One of mine is bigger than the other and always has been.

No one has perfectly formed breasts unless they have been air brushed

You do not have breast cancer so calm down and I know you cannot help saying you are dying from it but look at Kylie Minogue she had the op and she is fantastic again. Someone I know had it when she was 21 and she is in her eighties now.

If you have had a blemish for many years it is not going to be an aggressive sort of anything. Forget them.:)
