Hi Hillburn,
I hope that you are surviving through the horrid treatment for IBC. It is an insidious disease but there is hope and light at the end of the tunnel. I was diagnosed in October, 2007 and was stage 3C. After six rounds of chemo, mastectomy, radiation and herceptin (I was HER2+) I am still in remission. The USA site is a wealth of information and I have formed many dear friendships and received some fabulous advice from that.
Any other questions you may have or any suggestions you may need please feel free to ask. I understand and know how IBC literally knocks the wind out of you and the feeling of sheer exhaustion, fear and anxiety can be so gripping. Please take care and nuture yourself. To all the women on this site who are going through treatment, in remission or whatever stage you may be at I wish you peace, love and hope. <3
