Hello! I am new here, and I am glad I found this place… I am in the middle of the diagnosis process, it has already been clarified that I have BC but there is not a diagnosis yet for IBC.

Hey all, I am starting this thread to give us a place to meet up and check in. We all know this "ain't Facebook" and since some of us have left the boards recently let's have a roll call and start fresh here.

HI everyone- I just recently got diagnosed with IBC stage III on 12/17/15. I stumbled across this site in 12/12/15 and looked up the symptoms I was having. Had it not been for this site I would have just taken my PCP's word and antibiotics. I am glad I found this site. Ready to start this journey!

I have a call into my oncologist, any thoughts and words…
hi, I’m a 29 year old mama of 2! Recently I noticed a red (about the size of a quarter) rash close to my nipple. I was put on cream for a week and it hasn’t helped at all. My Dr has referred me for an ultrasound, they won’t do a mammogram because I’m younger than 30. I have a 3 week wait for my ultrasound and my nerves are…
