Hi
I am a nine year IBC survivor this month . I knew Penny when she lived here in Columbus and we were dignosed within a few years of each other. I am doing great . I initially went through 8 rounds of chemo, mastectomy, followed by radiation. I am currently on Herceptin every three weeks, have been on Aromasin for several years now and just started once a month Boneva.
My most recent scans came back all clear. I had a small spot of cancer found on my right femur back in March. Surgery was done to place an 11" steel rod in the femur bone to strenghthen it followed by ten radiations to that bone. The scans showed the cancer is gone.
Every day is a blessing. I was diagnosed with IBC at age 41 at my first mammogram. Very scary stuff but I am now 50 and here to tell others about it!
