In April,  I was diagnosed with stage 3C, grade 3, triple negative Inflammatory Breast Cancer which is a very rare, aggressive type of breast cancer accounting for only 1% to 5% of all breast cancer cases.  I have already had Doxorubicin and Cytoxan and I'm about halfway through 12 weekly Taxol treatments. 

 

 I have new swollen lymph nodes on my neck and the cancer looks visibly much worse than when I first started treatment.  It's really attacking my skin and I'm in constant, excruciating pain.    

 

I have to undergo more expensive scans and biopsies of the lymph nodes to determine next steps in treatment since it appears I'm not responding well to the current treatment. 

 

 I still need to have surgery, 10 weeks of radiation and additional rounds of chemo.  I am putting my fate in God's hands and know that he still has great plans for me.

 

I thank you for reading my story and feel blessed by those who wish to join me in my fight and will update you all once I get my imaging and biopsy results and next steps in treatment.
