I don't have IBC but have been staged as Stage 3C because I have skin mets over my affected breast. These look like little bumps under my skin ... subcutaneous nodules was how my onc described them. They are only on my chest and I have about five. I don't have any anywhere else. I am on Herceptin by itself and this has reduced the tumour I had in my right breast to nothing! I had a mammo a couple of months ago and there was no sign of cancer!

Sandy, can I ask you how many skin mets you have and where they are? Do new ones pop up or do they remain stable?

Thank you in advance.

Taffy.
