Luckily, the fatty liver deposits are a side effect of Tamoxifen. Thanks drug makers, you really suck. I can curb some of this with lowering intake of saturated fats and increased exercise. OK, I can do these things.
Monday, I saw my gynecologist to get an update on how my ovary and uterus are looking. We were pleasantly surprised to see that my uterus looked better than before. Again, YAY! My ovary had cysts on there, but they were smaller than before. WOOO-HOOOO! I have to go back in July to get my Mirena replaced and get a check up on how my ovary is doing with the cysts. Again, the cysts are a side effect of Tamoxifen. Yes, another side effect. Do not Google the drug because the side effects will make your head spin. I stopped reading the list in October 2012.
I go see my oncologist in a couple of weeks to recap the CT results and findings from my gynecologist. Not sure what she will say, but I know there will be lab work to check my liver enzymes again. Hopefully she will not want to see me until July or August, too.
Today I boldly declare that all is clear and leave all the crappy news behind me. I wake up looking forward to see the sun and feel it on my skin. I hug my kids and encourage them to be good to themselves and others.
Item #98: Take your shoes off and walk through the grass. Feel the grass on the bottom of your feet and between your toes. Look down to see the different colors. Close your eyes to smell the grass. And if you are so bold, lay down in the grass and remember what it is like to be close to the ground. Be humble in your actions today. Carry on!
I love your guts!
