Guy treated for IBC
I was diagnosed clinically with IBC right after the FNA biopsy that determined IDC. The symptoms were classic, and my onc decided to start with chemo rather than a mastectomy (neoadjuvant treatment). Fortunately, by the second treatment the IBC was visibly reversed. By the sixth treatment the breast was normal and all that remained was the small IDC lump which was removed during the mastectomy, along with all the lymph nodes on my left side. Radiation followed. I'm now five months into the standard five-years of Tamoxifen with no evidence of disease.
The point to be made here, is that with attentive treatment you'll be on the road to recovery.
