Can you get IBC as a secondary local recurrence?

Hi guys

I have been checking out the site for a while, I was dx last July with stage 3, her2 +++. Have had 4 cycles of chemo, lumpectomy, 4 more cyles of chemo and finished up six weeks of radio in early April will be on herceptin until November.

Can anyone tell me if you can get IBC as a secondary local recurrence? I expected my doggy breast to end up smaller than the other and have been putting the increase in size down to surgery(last November) /radiotherapy which finished over three months ago. I also have breast tenderness and occasional shooting pains in breast and nipple and the breast is a bit warmer. Is it common to still have breast enlargement three months after radio? I mentioned it to my oncologist a couple of months ago who felt it was due to radio. I have seen my GP who I have a lot of faith in and he is treating me for mastitis however I can't help but wonder if it could be IBC?
