Emotional Week for me & a warning for all ladies
So I had the most up and down week. First, my cousin gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby boy, Matthew Jay. He was 7 lbs 10 oz. She had him on Tuesday.
Next thing was the not so good thing that happened: (sorry very long)
My grandma had to have a biopsy on Wednesday because she had developed this huge rash on her breast. It basically looks like a huge birthmark. My grandma has had breast cancer before and has been in remission. Basically the doctors told my aunt on Wednesday that they had a very strong suspicion it was breast cancer, so needless to say I was so upset. I just kept saying to my mom how could these doctors say that, when my grandma doesn't have a lump.
So I went online and did some research: I found that there is a very rare form of breast cancer called inflammatory breast cancer. It is a rash on your breast. It is a very, very fast moving cancer and the outcome is not very good. So of course that made me more upset because that is exactly what it sounded like.
To make a long story short, we found out today, that thank goodness it isn't inflammatory breast cancer, but the doctors believe she has a mild breast cancer, but they aren't sure. They have never had a biopsy come back like it did, so it has to be sent back out to other specialists.
I am so relieved it is not IBC but I just want to know what it is. Please keep my grandma in your prayers and please if you even notice a rash on your breast please have it checked out. I never even knew about that kind of breast cancer until I read about it online.
