My mother,Victoria, was 58 years old and was diagnosed with a very rare and aggresive form of Breast Cancer called Inflammatory Breast Cancer or IBC for short. IBC only occurs in about 1% of women with Breast Cancer. IBC can not be detected through regular mammograms. It is only picked up by Ultrasound or MRI. It usually shows up as a rash or redness of the skin, not a lump. My mom had a routine mammogram in May 07' which showed nothing, however, 5 months later, she had full blown IBC. She was treated unsuccessfully at MD Anderson in Houston. She received about 10 different chemo drugs and radiation over a 13 month period.Nothing seemed to be work as her cancer spread to other parts of the body. My mother died 18 months after her original diagnosis. This is my attempt to raise awareness about this devasting disease and to ask you to learn more about IBC so that you can take the necessary steps to protect your family. There are genetic screening tests that can be done such as the BRAC test to see if you are a carrier of the gene. You can learn more about this by asking your doctor. I have provided several helpful links below. I miss my mom so much! She was the best mother a person could have ever wanted and she was my best friend.

She was described often as an “angel on earth.” More so than her stunning physical beauty, she was known for her wonderful, vibrant spirit and grace. People were naturally drawn to her and she made them feel comfortable and safe when they were around her. Victoria was also an artist and she found a way to beautify everything around her. She was an avid doll collector and loved looking for antiques, but what gave her the most joy was spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. Victoria was born in Bridgeport, Texas. She is survived by the love of her life, Roger Berry of Manheim, Texas; daughter, Tammy Jo McCleney and son-in-law, Brett McCleney of Manheim, Texas; her grandson, Jacob McCleney and her granddaughter, Jett McCleney of Manheim, Texas; her adopted Father, Paul Harrison of Ben Wheeler, Texas; her sister, Berma Thomas and niece, LeVita Barrett of Ryan, Oklahoma; and her Father-in-law, Richard A. Berry, Sr. and Mother-in-law, Alma Berry of Sycamore, Ohio. She was preceded in death by her son, Shawn Skelton; mother, Lorene Shawn; adopted mother, Elvie Deitsch; Father, Weldon Shawn; and brother, Larry Shawn. Victoria graduated from the University of Texas in 1980 with a Bachelors Degree in Nursing; she obtained her Masters Degree in Nursing in 1982. She was a Registered Nurse, a Clinical Nurse Specialist and a Certified Wound Care Nurse. The highlights of her nursing career included Director of Marketing at Healthcare Rehabilitation Center, the Director of Nursing at Shoal Creek Hospital, an Investigator at The Texas Medical Board and a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant. Victoria was known to be a tireless supporter of nurses and nursing issues. Funeral Services will be at 11 am Saturday, April 11, 2009 at Phillips & Luckey Funeral Home, 588 N. Main, Giddings, Texas. Visitation will be held Friday from 10 am until 9 pm at the funeral home. Victoria dearly loved God’s creatures and she spent many hours caring for her dogs, cats, birds, horses and donkeys, but she did not stop there. She was a tireless supporter of animals and donated much time and money to help various organizations. In keeping with her goals in life, in lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be sent to the National Miniature Donkey Association Incentive Fund at NMDA Central Office, 6450 Dewey Road, Rome, New York 13440.  This is my dad, Roger, aka "Papa" Papa is the glue that keeps this family together. When something needs to be fixed, he fixes it. When something needs to be built, he builds it! We also call him "Tim the Tool Man" ....Without him, nothing that we do here would be possible. He is a big Ole' Teddy Bear and he loves loves loves the Frenchies!
