Ok I'm not a blogger, why I don't know, I think it just really is hard for me to write down all that I am going through. So many of the emotions are hard to put into words. That being said, I have moved on to the next phase in my treatment. I started taking Tamoxifen in July,which blocks the estrogen in my body. It puts me into a forced menopause...and that has not been so fun. Hot flashes, mood swings, fatigue are the big ones. I am slowly getting back to my old self but it will take some time.
Tomorrow I am going to get my next reconstruction surgery where they remove the tissue expander's and put in silicone implants. This is a good step and one I am looking forward to. My only fears I have are about the anesthesia, last time I threw up every time I sat up for 12 hours after my surgery. NO FUN! This time I am going to get the anti-nausea patch before the surgery and that should help. It is an outpatient surgery so I should be home tomorrow afternoon. I will be recuperating for a couple of weeks.
