One Year Ago

Today marks one year since my cancer diagnosis. Hard to believe that surgery and radiation, and 5 months of tamoxifen took up the majority of my time and focus. Currently, I am doing well with the aftermath of the cancer. Energy level is almost back to normal.  I am still not back on my tamoxifen as my onc wants to wait until I see my bone mineral metabolism doc to see how the perlia shots are affetcting my osteooporisis.  If that stailizes when I go back for my bone scan, then she may consider letting me re-start the tamoxifen.  This is all complicated by the PVC heart irregluarity.  In fact today, they put be back on the Holter monitor for another 48 hours to re-evalulate the PVCs and to see if the beta blocker is working. I think it is working great - because I feel GREAT!  Keep your fingers crossed that the Holter monitor shows the improvement I feel and that the bone scan will show stabilization on my bones and I can re-start the tamoxifen as arimadex is not an option for me.  I appreciate all of the support I have received from everyone here durng this past year and like so many others have said, it's not a place you want to have to come to, but is the place to be when you need to be here fighting the beast.
