Need hopeful stories of survivors of Inflammatory Breast Cancer?

[juliet]

I am replying to david lee who wants hopeful stories of IBC. It will be 7 years from my diagnosis in another 2 weeks (December, 2001). I am cancer free! I had 3 chemos, radiation, Herceptin (on a trial back then, as it was only used for metastatic breat cancer). I had spread to the nodes (as I think we all have) and to my rib on the same side. So, I was technically stage 4, but my doctor listed my at 3C or I never would have gotten on the trial.
Yes, there are some of us whose cancer reacts well to the treatments. I was on tamoxifen for 2 years, now on Aromasin (an aromatase inhibitor) for five years (I have one year left). I feel great and am as active as I want to be.
Please feel free to write to me.

Thanks for posting for David and all of us in general. Although hubby is still hanging in there his journey is tough and rather complicated. We too are in need of hearing inspiration like this. You go girl!!!!>>Believe51
