The impact of a diagnosis of inflammatory breast cancer is felt by many individuals, and in addition to patients, it impacts their families and other loved ones, friends, co-workers, and many others. Many of those affected often feel that inflammatory breast cancer has affected them alone, since they are unaware of others affected likewise, all of whom are involuntary members of the “IBC community.” Before the advent of the Internet and its ubiquitous use, they were most often not in contact with others in the IBC community unless a fellow-IBC patient/family was accidentally found.
