I will have surgery to remove excess skin around the midsection to help give a jump-start to being healthier and secondary is attitude improvement. Not that my attitude is bad, but it would make physical activities easier for me. Plus, I could do much more.
After the surgery, I need to meet with a GI specialist to investigate why my liver enzyme levels are super-elevated. Yes, darn liver enzymes are acting up. They were elevated in April but more than doubled in July. Akkk!
Then after 6 - 8 weeks, I will have surgery to remove my remaining internal lady parts - uterus and ovary. After this surgery, I will change daily meds from Tamoxifen to Arimidex or Femera. I am not fond of these choices, but I guess if you get the choice of crappy or crappy, you are going to choose crappy. The term 'crappy' is used in jest because of the side effects. Again, do not look them up, you will cry.
My goal is to be done with all of this mess in time for the end of year events...Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. Yup, I said (or wrote) it...Christmas.
I have great support for these plans. Team Nikki doctors are supportive of my decisions. Team Nikki @ work are fabulous. Friends of Nikki are ready to swoop in to help. And of course, Family of Nikki are here to help me when I need it most.
Today...oh, I'm all out of wisdom today.
I love your guts!
