I know my comment may sound silly and you may not know the answer but I'm going to ask anyway. I had IDC in my right nipple area which was not caught by mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy. My Dr knew something wasn't right, so she conducted a punch biopsy which showed cancer. I had partial mastectomy with removal of two lymph nodes which revealed I had very small amounts of cancer cells in them. I am now experiencing itching in both underarms which causes redness. I went to a dermatologist, and they didn't seem too concerned but they don't know my background. I tried to explain to them, but they didn't take time to listen. I am scheduled for mammogram and ultrasound in September. Do you think this could be related to BC? BTW I was ER/PR+. Thank you, Traci

No question is silly. Based on my own experience with medical caregivers, I would encourage you to be persistent asking your question until you have peace of mind with their answers. Four doctors (following me for bronchitis) told me my lump (first round) was ‘probably nothing’ and I should just watch it. Keep asking until you’re satisfied you’ve been heard.
