Web-based, all volunteer non-profit working to improve the lives of those touched by inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) through the power of advocacy & action.
Happy 28th birthday, Herceptin!
The FDA approved it on this day in 1998, & HER2+ breast cancer hasn't been the same since. So many people are alive today thanks to the patients in those first trials & the researchers who dedicated their careers to it.

📣We are seeking participants with #BreastCancer for a study exploring their experiences with #ctDNA blood tests.
If you choose to take part, you will complete an online survey that takes about 15 to 20 minutes. The goal of this survey is to understand what you know about circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) blood tests.
By participating you will help us understand what patients and providers need to know about using these tests in clinical care.

Then I actually stopped, did my own research and read the literature and the science
And now?
I believe it even more
Unfortunately, many doctors know about the existence of "inflammatory breast cancer (IBC)," but few know how to make the proper diagnosis in a timely manner.
