@Kmakm Don't feel bad. I missed being a witness at a court case about three months ago cause I showed up the next day lol.......true story, I was sure it was on that day......duh!.
So, just back from the onc and just as I thought she was pretty adamant about changing me to Letrozole, even with the fact that my bone scan came back as borderline osteopenia (pretty rapid decline in two years I think) and that I have hereditary high cholesterol which the Tamoxifen seems to have helped somehow.
Nope, the book says menopause (as per hormone test results) =letrozole. I argued my point, advised that the last two onc's said I should stay with the devil I know since I'd had so many problems with this one. They'd told me the percentage benefit was small anyway but she wasnt buying it.
I get a recap on how shitty my diagnosis was and that I really should be thankful these drugs are available or words to that effect your honor.
I gave a bit of a speal about how much these drugs can affect your life etc etc etc, yada yada..........
Resonse...the knowing nod and."well those things can happen in menopause anyway" aaggghhhhh Fine, but normal, non cancery people can take things to control some of that shit.
"I'll see you in 6 weeks and see how you're going on it"
Faarrrk, I think I've just been dismissed. Take script,consider dropping it in the bin on the way through, mumble something I'm glad she didnt hear and shout multiple very bad words on the way home.
Me thinks it's wine o'clock.
