Follow-up visit day findings and results: Gabapentin did not contribute to the 15lb weight gain I have had overall since surgery. The weight gain is from the Tamoxifen. Since my feet are working better, I think I will stop the Gabapentin anyway. I am retaining water and swollen today so I took a hydrocholot pill. See if that helps. I had these for high blood pressure, prior to my surgery, my blood pressure went up and stayed up until surgery. It went back to normal after that. My blood work showed a lack of vitamin D so the Dr. told me to take 1000 per day. My bone scan showed significant bone loss in my hips. Still in normal limits. I can feel this. Isn't that weird. My cholesterol is a bit high. I need to keep walking. It is not as easy as it was when Tristyn was in school. I would drop him off and go. Now, I have to tote him along and he just complains the whole time. I bought the Abs video, I will try it. I keep watching it so I can complain about what I can't do. I still don't smoke but boy do I want to. I don't go back to the City of Hope until July for the hormone shot. Blah! Oh, my mamo was fine. No lumps, no bumps, no cancer.
