Sorry for your friends diagnosis. Although M.D.Anderson has the only I.B.C. clinic, they are not the only hospital doing research/treatment for I.B.C. The Mayo Clinic and Siteman Cancer Center both have excellent oncologist.

Please check the Inflammatory Breast Cancer Update for more information on I.B.C.:

Tell your friend to be as aggressive as possible in her treatment. I.B.C takes no prisoners. I wish her good luck.
