Oh hai, gym!

Today I had an appointment with my onocologist. Since the cancer is gone and I am now done with treatment, I will now be starting on Tamoxifen (http://www.drugs.com/tamoxifen.html) which I will be taking for the next 10 years because my tumor was estrogen responsive. I have to get a gynocological exam for a baseline because one of the side effects of Tamoxifen is increased risk of cancer of the uterus so they monitor it (<sarcasm>and I totally need more doctor appointments in my life</sarcasm>). We also discussed getting my medi-port removed and he wants me to get blood work one more time before giving the final ok on removing it. I go back and see him in a month. 

I joined a gym today! I have been thinking about it since I finished chemo and finally bit the bullet, walked in and joined. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical and was totally drenched in sweat afterwards. I also get some sessions with a personal trainer which will be nice to kick-start this next step. My first goal will be to lose the weight I have gained since starting treatment (about 20 pounds). Once that is gone it will be time to lose the divorce weight (about 30 pounds). Then I will be back in One-derland I will feel so much better!
