I am sitting here getting all of my premeds before the actual chemo infusion! Three more to go!
We spent a lot of time with the oncologist today. I had lots of questions for what will happen after this chemo finishes. Hopefully I will be done with chemo on October 15th. I will still have to do weekly blood draws for a month after it finishes. Then when my counts are back to normal I will start the estrogen blocker pill which I will take daily. As usual I am a different case! Since I had two different kinds of breast cancer he feels he needs to do some research as to what drug will be best for both of them. He does not feel I need to remove my ovaries at this time since I am post-menopausal and will take an estrogen blocker. I need to keep the port in for at least 3 months after I finish chemo. It is just an insurance protector. He ordered a bone density test because the estrogen blocker drug will decrease the bones density. One more part of this journey!
I have been feeling good. I got to spend Friday and Saturday with my grandsons. They always make me smile and pass the time. Nothing planned the for the coming week but definitely will enjoy the fall like weather we are having.
Take a breath and rest at some point this week. My confidence is in God. I know He will guide me as this journey continues.
"But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him."
Jeremiah 17:7
