Because I’m Fabulous!
I met with my Medical Oncologist today. I’m going to start on Aromasin (Exemestane) on Monday. I take the Lupron shots every 6 months. This shot shuts my ovaries down so I don’t produce any estrogen. The adrenal glands still produce hormones so the Aromasin will stop this production of estrogen. This should ensure that…

Transition
Still going through good days and bad days. They are a little different than before. Prior treatment was more physical bad days. Now I’m going through more mental bad days. (Physically I’m exhausted and adjusting to a lot of things that have changed.) It’s more of a “what happens next?” panic. This usually happens after…

Radiation Explained.
I was going to start out with “I had radiation today” but then was like…duh, you have radiation every day! I was thinking about how they do it and started to freak out about frying my lungs and heart and stuff. Now I know they went over everything with me but they didn’t have pictures.…
