It's been about a month since I last blogged...
Since then I've been in and out of doctor's offices...all the check-ups are good! I'm healing well, the pain and 'weird' sensations have lessened, but the doctor warned me to be patient: healing will take lots of time even if I AM out and about and active! I still have to spend the time healing. *sigh* I get a bit impatient! ;-) But, I'm so glad to be feeling this well!
I am lucky that all my tests have come back with just the best results we could have hoped for! I'm at low risk for recurrence...but I could even lower the risk by taking a drug for the next five years...so looking into that. On Tuesay I saw my surgeon, my oncologist and had a bone density test. What a full day! Hardly any time remained for shopping :-( [But we DID get by PetSmart, Costco and the ACE Hardware store during one big gap of time between appointments! We just had to be quick with our chores--not a lot of browsing!]
Next week the results should be in from my bone density test...and the doctor will prescribe the new medication [aromatase inhibitor]--there also is a clinical trial that I could participate in, and I will get news of that soon. That way, I could help further the study of how to best treat patients with this cancer.
I hope all of you have been "thinking pink" for October's Breast Cancer Awareness month. ;-)
