I was diagnosed with IBC last year at age 52. The IBC did not show up on my mammogram. Just my luck this type of bc rarely shows on mannograms. There is no history of cancer on either sides of my parent's families (except for my dad who died from stomach cancer, which I believe was totally caused by his work environment since he worked for an aerospace company). I was raised at the northern end of the San Fernando Valley near Los Angeles. Sometimes I feel like it's just the luck of the draw! Anyway, my last Herceptin treatment was in February 2006; my chemo was over in July 2005 and my mastectomy was in November 2005. 15 nodes removed. Path report showed no sign of cancer in breast tissue or nodes. I'm cancer-free and owe it t!o Herceptin
