A year and a week ago I found a big lump. The lump is long gone but the site is still giving me trouble. For some reason, my lymphedema has flared up. My right hand has been painful for three days. My site is swollen too. Other than that, my scars are itchy and hurting. I think this is because feeling is coming back to the area. Who knows.

I went for the shot Friday. It is a spring loaded syringe with a wide barrel. They jab you in the fat tummy. It didn't hurt a bit. I was freaking out at first and the nurse told me to sit down because she didn't want me to fall down. She is the same lady that gave me the N shots. So, I know she knows what she is talking about. I sat down and she poked me. That was it. The syringe has a small tablet that gets injected. I have one scheduled for every three months. I gave myself three days to have any effects. I haven't had any.

Gotta get a shot every three months. Zoledax is a hormone blocker that stops the ovaries from working. If the hormones are working, the estrogen cancer stimulation may occur. In addition to the Tamoxifen, I will have to get the shots too. I have no clue why my menses has returned. I have PCOS, it isn't normal to have a regular period. Damn that Metphormin..................... Anyway, other than the possible cancer return, I am good. I still have plenty of boob to remove. Why not remove the ovaries too? The surgery should include breast removal and reproductive organ removal so I don't have to take pills and shots and all that. I am not planning on having kids. Give me some hair remover cream that doesn't burn my skin, earrings and some cute shoes and I will be fine. My voice is too high to think I am anything but woman. I don't need the care package parts causing me problems.

Problem 1 10 2013

It has been one month and five days since my last radiation. It has been over six months since my last MP. I still have PMS but the Chemo was supposed to send me thru menopause and the Tamoxifen is an extra to block my flow. I had all the symptoms and the flow today. My regular schedule is the tenth of the month. Six months of freedom is gone. Phooey. I don't see the Dr. until March. I am going to make a call. I go to COH tomorrow for my class, I will refill my Tamoxifen and schedule an appointment with my Oncologist. I read all the things they give me and listen to every word. I am supposed to report these things. Damn, I thought maxi-pads were out of my life.
