doubting myself ~ a bit embarrased

I have been discussing ibc and my concerns for the last month on this forum ... two bsurg telling me with certainty that my pink splotched breasts, a couple of sores, and some aches/pains are not IBC!  I am still concerned but mostly bothered by the anxiety.  I just learned about a friends niece (age in 30's) who discovered a lump on her honeymoon and within weeks was diagnosed with bilateral ibc... also in her liver... having treatments now but if the next treatment is not more successful will cease treatment because they said they could not do surgery as she is.  So as my friend learns more about her niece and the disease... she has told me that if I'd had ibc, a bsurg would recognize it immediately and that because of it's rapid spread/development ... I would certainly have no doubt... and the drs. would not send me away.     Maybe I've totally over reacted:(  I am so sorry for all of those who truely are dealing with ibc.  thanks for all of the support and hugs!!!.
