Hey guys,

Just need to talk alittle. Ive been battling this IBC monster nonstop for a year now. This past week I got a pain under my arm and in the nodes of my chest. They really hurt. I Emailed Dr C. He has me schedualled me for 5/13. Cant come fast enough for me. It really frightens me to have new pain, especially this intense. It cant mean good things and Im so tired of bad news and frayed nerves. OK no more. Hope ya,ll are doing better than me.

Hugs in Va

Hi Kim,

I get pains too. They may last for a couple of days and then let up. Of course I am pressing around and digging under my arm to see if I can feel any lumps. I think it could be nerves regenerating but it is best to get it checked out.

This disease just stinks so badly. I am sorry that this is happening but I am hopeful that you are a-okay!

Hugs and Prayers,

Lexi

Hey Kim - Ditto to both messages from Shrink & Lexi. I abhor every new little pain that pops up, especially from my scarline up. It's just a constant thing for us to stay on top of our situations. Soon it'll be 3 years since I finished my initial IBC tx battle in July. Here's hoping that when you do get to Dr. C, he can put your concerns in perspective. Any odd job you've been putting off around the house??  My list just gets longer and longer, especially w/warmer weather coming up. Maybe it's a good time to tackle one in the next 10 days?? Anyway, be well and travel safely to Houston.    Squeaker

Hi

Thanks for your response.

I have not ever had the cancer under enough control to have my mastectomy.

When I got this pain my lymph nodes became swollen (Visibly and felt) and hurt when I moved my arm. Felt like a ball stuffed under my arm and hurting.

Counting them down!!

Have you learned anything in Houston?  Am praying you will soon be able to have your mastectomy.
