Another treatment done

As the year comes to a close I have another few treatments under my belt. Only one more this year, December 31st and then on to 2010. By mid-January I will have completed one year of treatment:) All things considered it is not bad. I am now on Tamoxifen in addition to the Herceptin. At my last visit with Dr. Rabe she decided to put me on this for the next few years. Although technically my tumor was estrogen and progesterone negative, it was 6-7% positive. Because of this and my age she decided tamoxifen was the best course of treatment. I may have to have a hysterectomy later but that depends on if I start ovulating again. The chemo put me in menopause but I may come out of it in which case more surgery. Let's hope not. The herceptin treatment isn't bad the pre-meds are probably the worst. Today was Herceptin and I feel kind of sluggish. We are all looking forward to Christmas although we could do without this bitter cold weather. Makes it harder to get motivated in the morning. I have decided to work with a trainer to get back into shape. He is kickin' my #$% so far! I guess I didn't realize how much the past year took out of me. I will get back to where I need to be, it is just going to take a little longer than I thought. Noah has moved into basketball season and of course is loving it. Alex & Regan are gearing up for finals and have begun cheering for basketball. They spent the afternoon at the gym running the beep test to determine their fitness and endurance levels. They are both in wonderful shape, oh to be young! Have a wonderful week everyone and stay warm!!!
