Went to the oncologist

Hi Ladies!
I went to the Onc today and got my CT results. There was no
change. Yea! She says we will scan again in 6 mo. unless I have
problems. She isn't as concerned about the nodules now. I will
get blood work in three mos. So I am good for now!
So I will continue with the hormone therapy. She wants to wait
until my hot flashes calm down, then wants to switch medicine.
She didn't tell me what, she just said there are some that take the
estrogen level even lower that tamoxifen.
So I will also continue to watch my diet. I have been cutting out
most processed food. Like if I want a cookie I bake it. It has
half the sugar and no corn syup for example. And lots of fruit
and vegtables.I don't know if it will help but it can't hurt.
I really apreciate all your support, It means the world to me.
Love and hugs,
Cindy

Hey Cindy, I did NOT get any cookies as the gang ate them all before I got back on "Pinkie"!!! What a Crew!!!
So now you have to make more for Michelle and my trips today. You need to get busy as my appt is at 11:00 am Pac time. At least that is not toooooo early for Rachael. Hope she has her cups of coffee before our tips across the States today.
I would prefer Choc chops as they are my favorites. Or just the chocolate big hunks. LOL.
Thanks for all the treats.
