I am sorry. Just try to stay calm until you know for sure. I was just diagnosed with breast cancer, and it is scary. I will keep you in my prayers.

@Blwichert are you sore? does your breast feel heavy or swollen? do your lymph nodes feel swollen? Commonly, these are other symptoms that one may experience; however, I would like to encourage you to try to stay calm and not over worry yourself because it will drive you crazy and you won't be able to diagnose yourself. So try not to investigate too much because you need to speak to your doctor; however, do research some so you can be prepared to discuss your concerns with your doctor and, in the case, he/she dismisses your concerns (I have had that happen), do not give in and make sure to express your deep concerns and get all your questions and concerns answered and addressed.
But remember it may be nothing other than a rash, or it may be something benign... but I know it is easier said than done, but do not drive yourself crazy with becoming overly worried. It is normal to be concerned.

Symptoms and complications of breast cancer
What was your age and what initial symptoms did you experience at onset?
positive
@Courtney_J I am getting very nervous and scared because the surgery is July 13, 2021. My parents both died this year so I dont have them to talk to. My mom died on Feb 16, 2021 with a sickness she was suffering for 18 months so i was dealing with that for the last months and then my dad had a major stroke 3 weeks after my mom passed away and he could no longer go back to his assistance living so we had to find a nursing home. We found one he was only in there 3 weeks and then he passed away on May 6, 2021. Right after all that I was diagnosed with cancer so I have been on a train that is non-stop. I feel like I am so tried out and I dont have much energy left. My sisters are not helpful they keep telling me just pray. They both got to take 2 weeks vacation after my mom and dad passed away. I have not even had time to take a breather I am just on the train of bad luck. That is how I am feeling.

I think I have ibc. I noticed a red spot on my breast a month ago. The dr said it's probably a derm issue and wanted to take a wait and see approach. Its been a few weeks and the spot is a little bigger. I'm going back to my obgyn Friday to beg for a biopsy. I'm so scared.
