Hi 
Recent CT scan for another suspected cancer reported dermal thickening and a large seroma in breast I’ve had no breast surgery or trauma Referred to Breast Clinic
Advised of CT circumstance & findings. Was examined & noted left breast more fullness but no external signs. Was told menopause could cause. Im on HRT.
Mammogram = told no change to c.15 mths ago.
Had very cursory / -5min ultrasound scan of left breast
Informed “nothing to worry about", all "ok" & “ just forget about the CT scan findings / don't worry about it” before being ushered out. At clinic for 1hr.
Concern IBC can be missed by mammograms & ultrasound? Thinking CT scan showing one issue could be dismissed by Breast Clinic, but not two issues?
Could CT scan really get it that wrong? Now questioning integrity of rest of that scan for other issue
Cant see GP face to face for 3+ weeks
Anyone else had findings on one type of scan but not on others?
Thanks in advance
Hello WoofWoman I have just read your post and am so sorry that it's not been answered. (I can't answer it myself as I have a different cancer). However by me replying the post will be "bumped" back to the top of the forum and I hope, seen by other members of this Community who can give you the answers you are looking for.

Insist on a biopsy. My IBC was missed too, very quick scan…‘just dense breast tissue’ breast clinic have now apologised and a review us taking place
Not enough professional knowledge around symptoms and signs of IBC.
I am stage3, have had 7 cycles of 8 if chemo. Surgery and radiotherapy to go.
Hope you get answers soon.
