I know I have another surgery with the curette for the polyp in the uterus. I just need to get through all of these latest round of appointments before I go down that road as well. I've just visited my breast surgeon who is happy with everything.
I have an appointment with the Cancer Centre next week to suss out some side effects I'm having from the drugs. I have been having some tinitus ? buzzing in my ears and some other things. My GP is not around, she's on extended sick leave so it leaves the cancer centre and my oncologist to help me out. I might also see if I can change medication now that I've been post menopausal for 2 years. It seems to be the standard time they need to determine if you are pre or post menopausal.
I also have an appointment with my radio oncologist. He phoned about a month ago to see how I was going - which was nice of him. It was quite out of the blue to receive his call. I wasnt home so he spoke with John. Maybe he was confirming my appointment with him?? Who knows.
Exercising 6 times a week is a hard ask between work and kids etc. I was swimming until my shoulder froze up and now have arm pain. You can imagine what comes up for a breast cancer survivor when I doctor google that one!!!!!
It is a mental game - always trying to be the utmost in positive and pushing down any negative thoughts. I have to remind myself that I had a Pathological Complete Response......no residue cancer. So logically....none in my body either. Stories of other cancer patients plus I'm in a couple of 'Cancer Clubs' so am surrounded by others at varying stages of this process.
Imagining myself as an old lady is the best way to re-focus me and dancing at my kids weddings :)
