    I have IBC, which behaves very differently from other types of BC. IBC often never even involves a tumor, but spreads in "sheets". I did have a tumor and the chemo shrank that down to a "spot", leaving that spot and some others (that were previously "sheets"). Then the mastectomy removed all those "spots". Now radiation should kill cells remaining along the chest wall or in the lymph nodes. At least that's how I understand it.

    Clear margins is great!

    I also have IBC, and i was wondering if they mentioned going through chemo again after radiation? From what i understand that is usual in IBC. My first doctor did not do chemo again after the radiation and that is why i ended up in this mess. If your doctor does not advise chemo again, get a second opinion. I had 11 nodes removed, and 5 were positive, doctor told me that was good, but he was so wrong. It is better to be safe.
