Just look at my Sweet Husband's bio below, although he has had much happen since 2006, he is still here fighting. There was not much time in the beginning....6 months, 9 maximum. It is 27 months David and he is not done yet!!!

Sending special prayers for your friend to be inspired and to gather the strength to be the next one sending out a hopeful story. I know women who have beat IBC for 8-10 years. In the meantime new and exciting things happen in the breast cancer world. Best to you both!!>>Believe51
