5 targeted therapies?

Hi, I just recently saw this video clip on Inflammatory Breast Cancer. This is a dangerous type of cancer that is not usually found until the later stages. It can appear as a redness or rash on the breast and is sometimes misdiagnosed by medical professionals. I urge all of you to watch this clip found at the web site below and pass this information along to others. Most of the people I have forwarded this clip to have responded that they were unaware of this type of breast cancer. The clip is only 6 mins. and well worth the time.

Dear Kirsten,
Realize that Fox TV gets viewers by alarming people so they are going to make anything - whatever they report - look really frightening otherwise why would people tune in? As you pointed out even the Fox report said the complications, while annoying, weren't that bad. Perhaps if you looked at the stats that resulted in life threatening complications they would point to older people??? So look for information from more even-handed, reliable medical sources before feeling worried. Anyway, aren't we all going to beat the stats!
take care, be well,
sarah

by genetic profile (not by appearance under the microscope) are:
luminal A and B, her2, basal and normal. Luminal A includes her2+ER+ and her2 group only includes er=her2+s. They are discovering subsubclasses within these, but have not named them yet. Hope this helps!

thank you all so much, I think I have a better handle on this. Hope you are all doing well.
