Hi all,
Hope everyone is doing ok and having a happy holiday season! Thanks for all the check-ins, I really appreciate it. Since I had a clear mammogram the end of October, a lot of you thought I was done with treatment and have asked what, if anything, is next.
The short answer is I’m still at it. I know, it feels like it’s never going to end, but I’m just taking it one day at a time until April when I will officially be done bixby. Because I was triple positive (estrogen, progesterone and HER2) I am now on a daily estrogen blocker (Tamoxifen) and still getting HER2 antibody infusions to block the HER2. I get these every 3 weeks. I started these while getting Taxol in April and the treatment goes for a full year. I am expected to be on Tamoxifen for 10 years or until my oncologist switches it out for another drug 3d modelle zum herunterladen.
The antibody infusions take a few hours at Sloan when all is said and done and there’s a couple of side effects with it that can linger but it’s nothing compared to chemo. Also, the 3 weeks in between infusions has given me time to get back to a semi-normal schedule with work and life. And in such a busy time of the year, it’s nice to be able to go to a Christmas party, shop or spend my evenings wrapping up presents and relaxing and not commuting home from the upper east side of NYC download kodi voor mac.
But I am not only wrapping up presents, I’m also wrapping up a bunch of necessary doctor’s appointments I have had to push off because I spent a full year over at Casa del Sloan.
Prior to my diagnosis I was pretty vigilant about getting my annual exams, so once I had some time I needed to get back on track. As I wrote a couple blogs ago, I went for the biggee, my follow-up yearly mammogram dropbox download zip file too large. Luckily it came back clear, so that was relief. Mammogram, check!
And because chemo sidelines your immune system, I wasn’t able to get my teeth cleaned. I went right before I started chemo in February and was finally cleared to get them done again. Dentist, check!

There are other problem associated such as impotence and premature discover address levitra 10 mg ejaculation apex legends. Next I had to get an annual physical. I dreaded it because it was another needle to draw blood, but I had to go because it’s important to see where all the other levels are and make sure nothing crazy is going on or any organs were damaged from chemo. My doctor called and we went over the lab results. Aside from needing to cut back on pasta and ramping up the exercise, I’m “perfectly healthy” in all other aspects children's games to download for free. Physical, check!
Then I had to do the annual gyno. Sorry guys this part’s not for you, but ladies, you know the deal. I totally wanted to skip this, but it had been a year and one of the big concerns when someone has breast cancer is that they can also develop ovarian cancer. The doctor said everything appeared fine, but the lab results will be back in about a week. Gyno, check!
And finally, I had to see a dermatologist for a “full body scan” to make sure no skin cancer was lurking or starting amazon cd kaufen mp3 herunterladen. It is a good thing to do anyway, but also good after radiation to check the skin around the area that was exposed. The doctor looked me over head to toe and said all looked good. Dermatologist, check!
It was a tiring, busy end to the year but a necessary one so I can jump into 2017 with just a few months left at Sloan. I can concentrate on getting through the rest of my breast cancer treatments and not have to worry about anything else for a while tasten handy herunterladen.
So as your own 2016 is wrapping up, please make sure to take the time to make your annual appointments and get your screenings done. No one is immune to having their life hijacked by a deadly disease and as with anything, the sooner you catch it, the easier it is to get through it and kick it.
After all, as you’re sitting there wrapping those new sweaters, video games, bottles of booze and the “shoot, I didn’t know they were coming” extra candles, remember, the best gift you can give your family and friends – is you income tax return 2017.
Merry Christmas everyone and I wish you all a healthy, Happy New Year!
