My appointment with the oncologist was as screwed up as ever. I now have a new drug to take, and am contemplating whether I will or not, it's called Arimidex(anastrozole) and is suppose to stop estrogen from being produced. The side effects are high cholesterol, bone loss, and mood swings, ( they are the most common). I've had them since Monday, and haven't made up my mind. Of course I want to just chuck them in the garbage, but that small scared voice in my head says 'Ya better take them'. On the other hand, will what I am doing with the water and the diet be enough? Only time will tell.
I went and saw the Surgeon yesterday. This freaks me out, but I want to be "normal" again soooooooo bad. I will be getting the trans-flap procedure done October 7th. Hmmmm, that gives me enough time to back out. Another surgery, I'm just not one hundred percent decided on this one. Am I being silly? And can I live the rest of my life wondering if my prosthesis has shifted or is falling out? I can't just go to any store and buy a bra, or any shirt I want. Always being conscious of it is tiring. 7 days of 'down' time and 6 weeks to heal fully. It is the perfect time of year for this, and both kids are will be in school.
We will see, I am pretty sure I'll go ahead with this, but it's a pretty big decision.
