It's been three weeks since my last radiation treatment. My skin, which looked like a terrible sunburn with peeling, is now back to normal. I never experienced the fatigue that usually goes along with radiation and I'm so thankful to be on this side of treatment.
In my follow-up appointment this week with the oncologist, he prescribed the Anastrozole pill to try and prevent the reoccurrence of breast cancer. It decreases the amount of estrogen the body makes and helps to slow or reverse the growth of breast cancers. There's some possible crazy side effects - the worse two being bone pain and osteoporosis. The doc says my bones are perfect so I'm hoping they'll stay strong and healthy. I could possibly be on this pill for up to five years. I'm praying it will be effective with none of the side effects. I took my first pill yesterday.
Another follow-up appointment is scheduled in 3 months, but this should be my last blog on this subject. I'm happy about that and I know you are too. 😊
I am so grateful for all the people God has put in my life....my family, friends and even the people I've met briefly during this season. Each person has added to my life.
❣️ Life is better with a friend like you.
❣️ Together we can get through anything.
❣️ You make my heart sing.
❣️ Thank you for making a difference in my life.
❣️ Thank you for your part in my journey.
PS I've survived cancer, now hopefully I can avoid the Coronavirus!
