Final oncologist visit for 3 months and Tamoxifen
So I had my final visit to the oncologist for a while. Get a reprieve till November. I am
menopausal but my ovaries are trying to get things going again apparently. I am to start on tamoxifen but have a reprieve till mid July as we have things on for an anniversary and if the tablets affect me badly don’t want to turn into a crazy person or there might not be a next anniversary :p. As I have been thinking about getting my ovaries remove to prevent recurrence (my new fear) she said If the tamoxifen doesn’t agree with me I can do the monthly injection and that will let me know what the effects will be and then I can go on letrazole. As she is aware of my fears of recurrence, and I’m not one to sit and wait until there is a problem she is going to send me for a bone scan to be thorough and if I want in my year anniversary she will refer me for another CT scan. So I have a brief reprieve to let my body heal a little before I start the next phase.
