| Bio: | This is ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) poannie's cancer diary.
I have a genetic disposition that means I am more susceptible to certain forms of cancers.... This is called Li Fraumeni Syndrome (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li-Fraumeni_syndrome)
Diagnosed - 02/07/07 - Grade 3 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma in both breasts
Surgery - 22/08/07 - Bilateral Mastectomy with tissue expansion reconstruction
Prognosis - 10/09/07 - Left breast: Tumour was 1.8cm (invasive ductal carcinoma) with 2.2cm DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) 16 nodes removed - none affected
Right breast: Tumour was 2.5cm (invasive ductal carcinoma) with 3.5cm DCIS. 12 nodes removed - 3 affected
Started Zoladex and Tamoxifen on 28/09/07.
Had Proximal Femoral Replacement surgery on 25/10/07 as I have been diagnosed with secondary bone cancer.
It's early days yet but I plan to post here as much as possible, probably some pictures too (which won't be for the squeamish) so I can track my journey through this.
