Welcome To The Inflammatory Breast Cancer Update.
I am starting this blog with the hope of centralizing the most current information on Inflammatory Breast Cancer. I will do my best to make sure that all of the links given are accurate and active. I understand just how urgent it is that both a proper diagnoses and aggressive treatment begin as soon as possible.
My wife was diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast Cancer in January of 2005. She passed away on September 18 2006. I'm writing this not to dishearten anyone newly diagnosed with this form of breast cancer, but to let you know that I have been where you are and to hopefully save you time researching this disease.
The numbers are anywhere from one to four percent of all breast cancer patients face this diagnosis. Don't waste time looking for a prognosis. Find the best doctor you can who has had experience battling this condition. The one thing I would tell you is be as aggressive in your choices of treatment as this disease is. I wish you the very best, know that you are not alone, and if I can answer any questions please let me know.
