Did I say, "I'm done'?
Well, maybe I should re-phrase that. I may be finished with the actual procedures, but I guess when you have a cancer history, you are never "done" with Doctors!! I had my follow-up appointment with my medical oncologist today and we charted a path for the future. I am to be seen every 3 months in her office for 2 years, then every 6 months for 3 years. I was put on Aramidex,(an estrogen blocking drug) for 5 years, given a shot of Lupron that stays in your system for 3 months. I wish that I had researched this drug before agreeing to it. I am not happy with the side effects it can cause, and knowing me, I get all of them. lol I'll keep you posted as to whether or not I CHOOSE to receive another one. I have a pet scan scheduled for Dec 27th which will hopefully confirm the absence of cancer. Dr. Meng suggested a liter a day of water, and begin yoga as a form of exercise. I understand that yoga helps the mind and body, all I can say is, "its gonna take a lot of yoga!!!! Bye for now, I feel a hot flash coming on, lol
