Inflammatory Breast Cancer Links.

My wife was diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast Cancer in January of 2005. She passed away on September 18 2006. I'm writing this not to dishearten anyone newly diagnosed with this form of breast cancer, but to let you know that I have been where you are and to hopefully save you time researching this disease.

The number is anywhere from one to four percent of all breast cancer patients are facing this diagnosis. Don't waste time looking for a prognosis. Find the best doctor you can who has had experience battling this condition. The following links are a few of the sites that I found beneficial:

Siteman Cancer Center
Inflammatory Breast Cancer Research Foundation
American Cancer Society
National Cancer Institute
The Mayo Clinic
I. B. C Support

I hope you find these sites helpful. The thing I would tell you is be as aggressive in your choices of treatment as this disease is. I wish you the best and if I can answer any questions please let me know.

Peace and Good Cheers,
Marty
