Hi girls,

My Step-sister just sent me a picture of her boob, she has a red spot on it and it looks like IBC.  But I'm not an expert.  If you send me a pm I will send you the pic to get your opinion.  I know her mother had BC in the past, so we are just a tad worried.

Thanks

Randi

Hey Randi,

Really, your step-sister should be seen immediately by a breast care specialist. Especially having a first degree relative w/ bc. It will give her peace of mind I think if she has a doc take a look and possibly biopsy the area.

Let her kow we are thinking of her.

Hi,

I think she should see her ob/gyn or whoever she can get an appointment with and insist on a test.
