Hi i have suffered with anxiety and health anxiety for over 20 years now and im so scared and just dont know what to do ...my Gp has refered me to a breast clinic for an ultrasound, the appointment is on friday morning, im so scared that they are going to tell me i have ibc, im shaking writing this post, i went to see the doc with red inflamed/warm breast, he checked me and said he thinks i have a breast infection, he also said my lymph node was a bit swollen under my arm and it felt smooth and refered me to a breast clinic,im on anti biotics for it,i only have 2 left and im worried as the redness is still there, my breast isnt hard or swollen nor do i have a inverted nipple but i do have open pores around my breast in places but it dosent feel or look like the classic orange peel, i can only see the open pores in certain lights if you see what i mean ..all this started around 3 weeks ago but only went to drs last week with it after i googled and found out that it could be ibc, i never heard of it before i googled and im now literally freaking out about it, my gp said it was more likely to be a breast infection but im 58 and i read that mastitis is rare and only really affects breast feeding mums, so im now convinced i have this cancer ...also my mum is in the last stage of dementia and the hospital said shes losing the will to live, shes not eating or drinking and going down hill ...im at my wits end and my anxiety is through the roof atm...thank you for reading x
