Thanks. I just had a mammo about 1 month ago which was clean, but I will get it checked out.
Thank you so much for your kind answer. Inflammatory breast cancer was my first thought and my GP was quick to send me to the 2 week assessment. They did a mammogram, which was negative and the breast consultant referred me to a dermatologist . It took a while to get an appointment and then another wait for a biopsy, which came back as livido reticularis. I was concerned because the dermatologist said he would take the biopsy from the worst part but the young dr took it from the outer area, which had barely any rash. Anyway, I am now waiting for my dermatologist apt at the end of Nov. He seems to think it’s related to another autoimmune condition but doesn’t know what. He’s done a few blood tests. I was very concerned to hear that your friends mammogram was clear. I am sorry she had a late diagnosis. I am going to ask my GP if I should have another mammogram as it’s been nearly a year now. Thanks again.
