Yay for clear scans and I think my brain is toast.
Howdy beautiful people.I haven't been on here for a bit and I've missed you guys. The usual chaos of keeping my poor old farm from falling apart and planning for our yearly "still here" family holiday. There's just not enough hours in the day.
I hope everyone is travelling ok on whatever part of the rollercoaster you're on and are coping with the train wreck that is 2020.
Sooo...another follow up lot of scans just to be sure that the MRI is not seeing anymore strange things.
The doctor came in to tell me straight away that mmg and u/s were all good. It's nice when she does that even though my confidence in those two machines is minimal and it's always the third one that throws a spanner in the works :)
So Yay to the all clear from the MRI for the second time in 6 months.
For those that know the story, the birthday cake people were ever so nice and professional. Actually they have been ever since I had words with the area manager. There's probably a red flag on my chart or something :wink:
The latest oncology check up brought with it another new doctor. Although I go to a private hospital, being a public patient there I tend to just see whoever is available these days. I think this onc number 5 or 6, could be more. Anyway it does give me the chance to ask all the same questions to multiple doctors and see if I get different answers. Mostly no difference but some slight variations of opinion.
I'm off for a bone scan and hormone level bloods just to see how everything is going and off the drugs for a month so it doesn't throw out the blood test. I've not taken a break for a while as it's really not making any difference these days which is kinda sad.
I have a sneaky suspicion that this doc is going to want me to change me to letrozole when the last few doctors have said I should stay put on the Tamoxifen. Anyhoo we'll see what she says after all the tests are in. I'm probably not going to change drugs now I have this beast somewhat under control.
I think my brain is toast. My memory and speach is really shot these days. It did come better for a while. So I am undecided as to whether it's because I'm not as proactive with my puzzles and crosswords as I was or am now just a permanent ditz lol
Hugs to all xoxoxoxo
