My general doctor is away on vacation, although not likely he's ever seen IBC anyhow or would know what to look for. I'm not really sure what to do. Should I call Revlon/Breast Cancer at UCLA and just ask for an appointment? They're not an IBC center but I'm assuming they can diagnose? I want a biopsy asap. I'd really appreciate advice...also...any referral to a specific doctor at Revlon/UCLA...

    If anyone is in Los Angeles, go to the UCLA Revlon Breast Center.

    I am going there next week to find out what's going on with my breasts and to have a diagnostic mammogram.
