I know I am a bit late to this so not sure if you are still asking but I was diagnosed with Stage 3 IBC in March last year. The protocol for treatment is very strict so Chemo first, then mastectomy (no lumpectomy option and immediate reconstruction is not an option) then Rads. 4-6 weeks between each stage of treatment. There aren’t many of us about so it’s hard to get your questions answered.
