Oncologist number 3. A winner finally.
So after sacking oncologist one and two for having the people skills of a cranky nesting magpie, number three looks like a winner. This is the first time I have left an oncologists office without being upset, frustrated or just seriously pissed off. Finally, someone who was willing to listen, was empathetic, yet straight down the line. I now have an all girl team. Which would be awesome if they would all stop having babies along the way:) She actually congratulated me on making it this far on HT. The drop out rate is pretty high within the first year or so apparently. Best of all, she is cool for me to continue the regular breaks on it. Yay for onco number 3 and a big tick for my 2 yr post chemo check up. Hugs to everybody xoxoxoxo
Skin checks
This is just a reminder to get skin checks along with every other checks ✔️ we all do. In some cases breast cancer has links to melanoma. Chemo too can bring out skin issues. I had 3 melanoma before my skin cancer diagnosis in 2020. I have had a history too of abnormal cells in many of my moles. Post breast cancer and chemo I have had 2 more malignant melanoma ( one recently diagnosed) and a SCC. I am ok as these are detected early. I am waiting for surgical removal in July. The message is to get your skin checked so if any issues arise they can be found early and treatment is available.
