is my birthday and also six years since I was diagnosed with breast cancer. That day six years ago was also a Tuesday.
This Friday I'll be at my yearly oncology visit. I am going to get tumor markers done this time.
After six years I still don't feel safe from a recurrence happening but I definitely deal with the fear much better. I just finished my five years on tamoxifen. A drug that can help prevent a recurrence, SO without that drug will I still be NED? (no evidence of disease). Hopefully..they say that even after five years on tamoxifen it continues to benefit.
On a lighter note, my husband, meaning well of course gave me this for one of my presents for my birthday. Not something you expect to get at the age of 37 but he knows I do suffer from night sweats so he is trying to help me out...
however..how depressing is opening this...lol ..in the upper right hand corner ..FOR MENOPAUSE.. Apparently he is also unaware of the breast cancer/soy controversy. Thanks anyway babe!
Hi:
Happy Birthday to my Beautiful Daughter.
