Clarissa, I was diagnosed 15 years ago with IBC (stage 3b). Had chemo, surgery, radiotherapy then an anxious wait, but am well now. I only come back to the site now at anniversaries to let folk know it is survivable, and increasingly so as treatment has advanced so much since I went through this. My heartfelt best wishes to you for the coming days and months.

Just popping back to the forum on the 15th anniversary of being diagnosed with IBC (aged 35, 10x12cm mass, node +, stage 3B, grade 4) to say I’m alive and well and have seen my baby [not quite 2 at the time] grow in to a great young man. When I was diagnosed I didn’t know of anybody with IBC who lived that long, so didn’t know it was possible, so I hope the fact we’re out here helps. All my best wishes to sisters, and brothers, currently facing this disease.

Hi all, just to let you know that this month marks my 10th year since diagnosis with IBC and I'm still well and clear of any signs. When I was diagnosed I didn't know anyone who could say that so I just wanted to let you all know it can happen, and for more people as treatments improve. Janeway2 dx Jan 2004 aged 35, with 1 year old son. Stage 3B, Grade 4, 10x12cm palpabable mass, node +, hormone receptors marginal, and they didn't do HERstauts back then. Treatment: 6xFEC, mastectomy and node clearance, 20 Rad, tamoxifen for 3 years.
