Today, I saw my oncologist for my 3 month check up. She asked if I had my colonoscopy screening set up since I'm now "of age" .... Should of had it last year when I turned 50, but I was busy! Now that I turned 51 last week, guess I should put it on my calendar. She asked if there were any relatives who had colon cancer. I don't think so.
She asked about the neuropathy, the pain. And I asked about the weight gain and fatigue. You will NEVER believe what she said! Eat right and Exercise! Imagine that!
Questions for doc
As usual, I had my written questions next to me. She would look them over and answer them during the examination.
* Since I'm taking estrogen blockers, why not just yank my one and only ovary and be done with it. She said NO. Leave it as is. (anybody know why? I got side tracked and forgot to ask)
* Should I get reconstructive surgery? I really didn't care either way (nor does my husband). But as time is going on,
my girls are getting more and more unbalanced.
Not my daughters, the other "girls"
She recommended the procedure and also recommended a plastic surgeon. My sister heard great things about this doctor, so I will begin making plans.
That's all I can remember at this time.
All our prayers for the Boston people and the visitors from all over the world that were there during the heart-shattering chaos. Prayers for the first responders, the people who began caring for the victims and each other ... for the families of lost loved ones and those who were injured.
This world is broken .... ask God to hold you, give you comfort and amazing grace ~
