Caroline McGuirk is an inflammatory breast cancer patient at Dana Farber. 

Caroline was experiencing some skin changes on her right breast beginning in September 2020. While it wasn't overly alarming, she thought she had an infection, which the Web told her often clears itself. 

She underwent 20 weeks of chemotherapy, followed by modified radical mastectomy and then 6 weeks of radiation.

Dr Fliipa Lynce received her medical degree from the Universidada Nova de Lisboa, Portugal in 2004. In 2020 she joined the staff of Dana-Farber Caner Institute and Brigham Women's Hospital, where she is a medical oncologist and clinical investigator in the Breast Oncology Center
