Is this IBC? Awaiting biopsy results

Hi I’m 32 and have noticed a pale pink patch covering bottom of my right breast off an on for around a year. I went through doctors twice and was given antibiotics, can’t say if it definitely got rid of the redness as it comes and goes anyway (particularly before my very irregular periods.)

Anyway it’s been coming and going so I’ve been and had 

ultrasound which showed thickening of tissue but no lumps.

i had a punch biopsy 2 days ago and I am terrified awaiting the result - particularly as I should’ve pushed for biopsy months ago!

Did anyone have any similar symptoms particularly the rash (smooth and pale pink) coming and going before period?

thanks 

UPDATE: my biopsy results came back clear. Mild edema. So grateful! Don’t worry folks. Just believe!

  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community. I myself have a different cancer but I do know how scary the waiting for results can be.

    It might be a good idea if you also join the Breast cancer group which is a lot busier than this forum so someone will hopefully be along to answer your question.

    It’s always helpful to others if you write a little something (or a lot) about yourself and your journey to date. You can enter it into your profile (click on your username and select “Profile”) It’s helpful to other members with a similar diagnosis who can then hopefully answer your questions. It also means that you don't have to keep writing the same thing over and over. You can amend or update it at any time. 

    To find more information covering diagnosis and treatments there are pages covering most types of cancers which can be found on our Online Information and Support Section

    The Macmillan Support Services also offer lots of information, support, financial guidance or just someone to listen. It’s free to call 0808 808 0000. Most services are available 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week. Have a look by Clicking here to see what is available and we also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two to three working days for replies from our expert team.
