visiting the Onc
I saw my oncologist yesterday and she is happy with me. My only complaint is that I am suffering terrible hot flushes all of a sudden! I have my own personal sauna about 6 times a day and a few at night where the heat wakes me. I actually break out in a full head sweat. I have to wash my hair twice a day !
Onc said SSRIs are the way to go - I said I'd see if it goes away during winter and hold off on taking those. No one is happier to see cooler weather than me! Lets hope it eases.
The other issue I have is a mismatch in boob size. I more or less had a partial mastectomy but didn't notice too much difference until lately. In some tops it was slightly obvious though. I was warned the radiation would shrink things a bit! Looks like it has. So today saw me investigating chicken fillets sewn into all my bras! Good result anyway....
And working three days a week is heaven. I am sure I could not do full time again - I get more tired than usual?? Or maybe if I didn't have to be supermum and manage the house as well.....a cook and a maid would work. Hmmnn....
Why do men get home and sit down and women rush around? the age old problem. My hubby is great but he just doesn't see the work around the house..... and when i do it - it is invisible to him!
Anyway.....overall, I'm good. July will see me off for a mamo and an ultrasound. Then I'll see the surgeon and the onc again. until then, on with life. I have a weekend in Melbourne this weekend.....and a weekend at a yoga retreat in June!! Yeah!!
