Today was the follow up visit with the oncologist to learn about the next steps..... a 5 year regimen of a cancer preventative drug and a drug to help with the hot flashes which are one of the side effects of the prevention drug.
There are other side effects which i hope i can miss.....
I have to see a lymphedema specialist as i am showing signs of swelling in my hand and arm.
It will take about a month for my blistered,burned breast to heal and then it's off to mammograms and ultrasounds to be sure all is well....
my energy is growing a little bit each day....i am grateful for each little bit...i think the minute and a half swing dance gave my body and soul a much needed boost.....
i am still resting good part of the day even tho i would like to be out and about "doing" things...
i feel like i needed to have a ritual or celebration for the end of this treatment phase....but alas, there was a shortage of people and places to celebrate.....
in one crazy sense there is quite a let down and i'm feeling it.....
the oncologist was full of admiration and hoorays for me as she said that lots of her patients don't make it through the treatment..they give up.....and I didn't !!!!!!!!!!!!HOORAY FOR ME
