IBC symptoms and signs of healing?

My mom has a hot, purple color on her left breast, puckering on the bottom, and rapid tumor growth which appears to be IBC. She has a lot of pain from what appear to be boils growing around the breast underneath and in between both breasts, and intermittent shorting pains, itching and burning that won’t stop.

Is this consistent with IBC? My mom feels her diagnosis is obvious because she got radiation from a laptop she carried upstairs and symptoms and pictures of the disease look like her breast. Therefore, she isn’t interested in invasive testing with MRI, mammograms or biopsies

She did however get an ultrasound, X-ray and blood tests. The ultrasound showed three tumors. The x-ray showed the tumors were very large, but blood tumor markers were clear. She doesn’t appear to have cancer anywhere but in the left breast. I’m not entirely sure what any of this means as far as her chances of recovery and survival. I just know my mom is in a lot of pain and I’m worried about her.

She’s been taking different medications for cancer and I’m looking to people here to learn from your experience as far as what it was like when your tumors were “healing” from your treatment. What did you notice were “good” or “bad” signs?

My mom’s breast has been draining a yellowy, red fluid that almost burns like acid. She keeps the area clean and bandaged. The breast is very red and inflamed since she began treatment and the boils look bigger and are spreading to her side.

Please help me understand what’s going on and what her symptoms mean. Any tips you have for dealing with this, recommendations for salves, pain relief, or natural medicines to incorporate are more than welcome.

Thank you, ladies. May God bless and heal every one of you.
