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.

UPDATE 10/04/08 - I got my results through yesterday - the hormone therapy is working and I don't need chemo yet!!! Woohoo!!!!!
UPDATE - 4 JUNE 2009 - Was told yesterday that the cncer in my pelvis (left ilium) is progressing and there is now soft tissue involvement.
** Update 31 August 2009 - I'm now on Letrozole (Femara) as a hormone therapy instead of Tamoxifen.
