Last Chemo and more news

Well, had the last round today. AMEN. Had labs first at 9:40 and then an hour and fifty minutes later, I had a visit with the Dr.s PA. The Dr. is in Spain on vacation. According to the PA, my ultra sound indicated I need a cat scan for hardening of my lymphnodes in my neck but the ultra sound did not include my thyroid area. So now I have to get a cat scan. And because of my cancer and the irregular bleeding I had from the last round of chemo, I need to get an ultra sound on my ovaries to rule out endometrial and ovarian cancer. Delightful. I also start the five year estrogen blocking hormone next month. So I may not have a menses for five whole years. YAY! But the lymphedema is causing a lot of swelling in my head, neck, boob and arm. My sinus is swollen on the left and there are polyps (had that before) and my gum has an indicator of infection. This is left over from some oral surgery I had. So it appears there is a slight sinus infection but I was not admitted because my white cell counts are normal, as are my liver and kidney functions. So I am good otherwise. With the five year therapy, I may get a monthly shot of something to make my ovaries do something, I forget, too much info. If the shot isn't an option, I can have the ovaries removed. So the ultra sound will determine that. It's all good. I didn't ask for more steroids LOL. I was up all night with the doses yesterday and I will be up all night tonight and tomorrow. There is a three day cycle. I mentioned that before. I was reading the side effects of the hormone blocker therapy - it says weight loss is a side effect. Imagine. The swelling gone, smaller boobs and weight loss? I asked why they didn't just start me out on the blockers, weight loss is a side effect? HELLO! It is so friggin hot. Does not work with hot flashes. Updates as they happen. Bye.
