Thanks for asking that question. I always wonder (and worry) about the same thing. I find it especially difficult because I was diagnosed Stage IIIB, Her2+++, ER/PR negative, WITH the addition of it being inflammatory breast cancer. Is there anyone out there with a similar diagnosis? I often feel like I am the only one. I know there are at least a couple others on this board, but are there really so few of us?

I also find it difficult sometimes to compare the treatment of others to what I have had because I am in Canada and other 'similar' Her2 people are from the United States. Does anyone have any input on that--as in would Canada and the U.S. generally treat a similar diagnosis with the same treatment plan?
