O.K. looks a little like a mask for (huge icon) the Bonzo Dog, or maybe Mickey Mouse.

I am 47 years old and I was dx with breast cancer March 23, 2010 and had surgery to remove the lump and accillary node and radiation. Wednesday I had a rash start on the same breast and my breast was sore, warm and red. I went to my oncologist and he gave me rx for steroids and anitbilotic because I also have pleurisy. He stated if it goes away but after the meds comes back I need to be tested for IBC. I didn't know what that was until I got him and we researched it I would love to hear from other women who have dealt with IBC.

Welcome jcollin5. Sorry you had to join us but there's a great group here. I don't have IBC experience but there's an IBC forum on here where you can get lots of answers. There's a variety of dx here so I'm sure you'll get some answers if anyone here has them. You might also want to have your doc check into ttuncal LE or cellulitis. It's good that your doc is being proactive though IBC can be aggressive from what I read.
In the meantime sit back and enjoy the virtual parties and virtual snacks.0 -

Welcome, jcollin5! Did the pleurisy develop as a result of your radiation? I don't know if we have many with IBC here now, but lots that had the lumpectomy and rads. Let us know if the antibiotics help with your inflammation.
marlegal, Mmmm, those snacks are so calorie free. Unfortunately, the ones I have been eating are not. Hurry up Spring, so I can get on my bike again.

Welcome, beth965! Getting that Dx turns your life into a real whirlwind of anxiety and a race to get more information about what is happening to you. I wanted to know and understand everything. I did not have Mx, but many here did so let us know if we can help. Hope your surgery goes smoothly.
cookiegal, It's been a while...how are you doing?

I had my MO appoint last Friday and the results of my bone density test were in and they were not good. I have been on Femara for over a year now and the only SE i have had were minimal hot flashes, which have decreased to almost none, an increase in coloestoral (now taking meds for that, back to normal) now I have a decrease of 13.3% bone density in my lumbar. I am nervous about taking other meds because I have had minimal SE. The alternative my MO is giving me is having a Zometa infusuion which should stop the decrease of bone density and strengthen the bones. Read up on it and I am OK with it. It does not come in pill form so it has to be infused through an IV. I am having it done on Thursday. Wish me luck.
Welcome newbies since my last post.
Wishing all my sisters well as you are always close in my thoughts.

walker2222, I had a post several pages back about Tamox. causing cholesterol numbers to go up. Turns out Femara will also do that (in about 15% of women.) Sorry you seem to fall into that group. I don't know if you take any OTC meds for osteoarthritis or joint health, but I also mentioned that glucosamine will elevate cholesterol too (being made from shellfish.) I am awaiting my DEXA report right now. Have been very faithful in taking my calcium supplements, so we'll soon see,0

Walker-good luck with the Zometa infusion. I hear that you need to drink lots of water the day before, the day of and the day after to help prevent achyness. I will be having my first one on Feb 8th. My MO told me every 6 month for three years which seems like the norm. What will you be doing?
After being on Tamox for about 3 months my cholesteral numbers changed. They were so good that a little change did not make a difference but it will be interesting to see if they change this next time as I just have it checked yearly which will be in April.
