I am sorry to hear of your problems. Yes, I believe the outcome could have been different if your concerns were addressed earlier. But it will not help your outlook to dwell on what might have been. I would suggest that you find a new doctor and look forward with hope - I know many women who have beaten Breast Cancer. Good luck.

Inflammatory carcinoma of the breast is a very aggressive fast growing cancer. I do not see a 5/05 appointment, but the prognosis would have been poor anyway.
