I have wanted to update my blog, but I have actually been pretty darn busy. I realized a lot has happened since the last updated on 9/11.
It has now been 3 1/2 months since my surgery and things are going well. In mid-September, I had a slight set back with a bad reaction to a bone strengthening drug which is given via IV. The drug is called Reclast and generally there are not side effects. I was given this drug because I am now on Tamaxifen which can potentially weaken bones. So, I was down and out for a few days.
On 9/21 I met with both my oncologist and oncological surgeon, both doctors were pleased and glad that I was working well with the Tamoxifen, which I will take daily for the next 5 years. Tamoxifen blocks estrogen to the breast, but not to the rest of the body. The type of cancer I was diagnosed with thrived on estrogen, which is why we want to block it.
I am still seeing my plastic surgeon monthly, although I keep telling him we really need to break up! I have had a few very minor healing issues so he still wants to see me. Or maybe it's all the interns that show up for each visit?!?
On the 9/22 I drove back to AZ, with Miss Kitty and Romeo (the bird) in tow. We were back for two quick days then Mike and I along with a group of friends were off to Hawaii for a week. We followed that trip with parent's weekend in Colorado Springs to visit Monica and see how her freshman year was going, followed by a trip to CA to check on the house, see a doc, and dinner with Amanda and Elyse - not to mention pick up my finished wedding dress!
So, things are good. Most of you already knew that I was doing well. Even though I I haven't been real good about updating the blog, it has been a joy connecting with each of you and feeling such huge support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart - which is located just behind my new boob. :O Love, Katie
