Posted by Sue on 9/5/2002 from 66.183.109.54:
My sister, age 46, has just been diagnosed with inflammatory carcinoma. She waited 3 weeks to get into the women's breast clinic where she was given her diagnosis, and now has to wait 2 weeks to see an oncologist. Info on the internet says that treatment should be started within days of diagnosis, and my sister is worried about this further delay. Will it make a difference to her chances of survival?
Also, I have never even heard of this type of breast cancer and neither have my co-workers who are RN's. Where is the education about this rare type that doesn't show up on mammograms or ultrasounds? I am still in shock that such a deadly and rapidly spreading breast cancer exists, and I've never heard of it.
