I've been reading the boards for a couple of weeks now, and you warriors have answered every question I've had. Thank you for that and the un-intended support, ya'll are amazing!

I know you'll ask...I was diagnosed Aug 5th with triple negative IBC. I'm currently doing the chemo thing (TAC), then mastectomy and radiation. I've had 2 treatments so far, and seem to be tolerating it with the usual side effects.

Thanks again!

    welcome!
    i am triple negative and IBC too! just had mastectomy of left breast and lymph nodes - no pathology yet. was diagnosed december 10, 2009. started with taxotere and cytoxan for 18 weeks - had issues with my doctors (they could not agree on my treatment) so went for second opinion. found out i was a chemo failure so they put me on adriamycin and cytoxan.

    sending your hugs and positive thoughts, heidi
