Single woman no kids, Breast Ca diagnosed 2003, lumpectomy (problematic not enough clearance around tumour so surgeon went in again after 2 weeks),auxiliary clearance, chemo, radiation, Tamoxifen for 5 yrs. at the time I went on Tamoxifen I came out in psoriasis which remains a problem.
Reconstruction 2006- Lapidimus Dorsi (back muscle used for flesh to rebuild breast) on second recon, the first recon was a big mess !!
Squamous Cell Ca on vocal chord diagnosed 2005,surgery, more surgery, radiation, more surgery, currently have lump on vocal chord being checked 6 weekly (probably damage from radiation) I am refusing further surgery on throat to preserve what is left of my voice! Long journey.
