Marie,

Since I went to Mexico for my dx and tx's, things were done a bit differently. ie: surgery first, then chemo. Just A/C 4 rnds.

I never had rads to my chest area after MRM. My choice the only reason.

My Inflammatory only showed as the orange peel type. From lower third of nipple area, to whole underside of breast. (C-cup) I also had two tumors. One visable, both inner quads, top and bottom. 6pos nodes of 26.

I've never had any type of Inflammatory recur since MRM Jan. 2000.

July 2002: Mets to mediastinal node/s (one partially biopsied) w/ 'spot' on pelvis and lung. Nothing ever came of those.

Sept. 2002: Mets to brain. and you know the rest there, I think. 18 tx'd with rads, all focalized. Current six lesions for 39 mos. on Xeloda/Temodar. W/Tykerb added last year.

too much info??? or what you wanted?

best to you both,
pattyz
