Thanks very much for your responses. The second cancer is not currently IBC. Dr. Cristofanelli is the IBC guru, and he currently is at Fox Chase in PA (recently transferred from MD Anderson). I have heard great things about him. My hunch is that since I am metastatic already, and have been extremely stable on Herceptin (knock wood), what I need is someone knowledgeable about Her2 positive metastatic breast cancer. I don't think that once it has spread it matters that much that it is IBC, although I could be wrong on this.

Courtney, I might call you soon to discuss this.
