Hi Kevin and Sue,

In December 2004 just before Xmas I did find out about my IBC (the mose aggressive type of BC). I had chemo dose dense first and then in April had Mastectomy. I did not do reconstruction because my cancer was very aggressive and they were not sure if I can survive. Just 10 days after 6 cycles of dose dense chemo, I had the surgery, it was a piece of cake. The nurse came to help me to go to washroom, but I didn't need her help. What I recommend to do all the exercise they give you after the surgery. I didn't do it and end up having frozen shoulder. Good luck to you. My husband also as usual has been an angel for me all the way.
Big hug to you,
