Li Fraumeni Syndrome

Has anyone had their breast cancer linked to this syndrome?

There has been a high incidence of cancers in my family, mainly breast, ovarian, leukemia and bowel which is characteristic of Li Fraumeni.

My mum has tested negative to BRCA 1 &2 but I have still chosen preventative surgery.

Has anyone been tested for this syndrome?

Jackie.

Hi

I am a sufferer of Li-Fraumeni - it’s very rare - only around 400 families worldwide.

My mum and brother both died in 1980 and were carriers of this faulty gene. We’re hoping they’ve caught my cancers early enough (had bilateral mast last August and was diagnosed with secondary bone cancer in Sept last year)
