Marking appointment

Getting ready for Thursday's expander do-over. At PS waiting for doctor to arrive to color me up with markers on my right side.

Saw PS on Fri.

So it's a go for expander in April. Everything looks good. So...showed my "boob/s" to yet another intern. Doesn't even bother me anymore.

Tamoxifen problems???

So my oncologist saw something on my CT scan that concerned him. Something in my uterus. Had an US. Could be polyp, thickening, or cancer. Had hysteroscopy (I cannot pronounce this!) & D & C. Spotted for a week. Learn results tomorrow....

Met new doctor

I met a gynecologist on Jan. 6th. She suggests a biopsy of the thing in my uterus under sedation. Great, I can already imagine the puking aftermath.

I have a CT scan with contrast on Jan. 12th. Chest, abdomen & pelvis. Then I see the oncologist on the 21st for results.

My home away from home

Ativan

When I saw my primary care doctor I told her I wanted to try to go off the effexor because I thought it was making me depressed. She suggested I stay on it. She said most women feel depression after cancer treatment. She said I'd been through a lot this past year. She prescribed Ativan to help me sleep. It's also an antidepressant and can help with hot flashes. I'm actually feeling so much better! Still tired but at least I can sleep all night.

Oh uterus!

Now what???

Had an ultrasound of my uterus last week due to a "nodule" that was seen on my last CT and PET scans. Well it could be one of four things:

1. Thickening

2. Cyst

3. Polyp

4. Cancer

So I see an OB-GYN on Dec. 3 for a work up.
