When I started chemo they put me on Zoladex to shut down my ovaries and stop my periods in hopes of preserving my fertility so I can actually have a baby some day. I have been off Zoladex since April. I was told it could take up to 6 months for me to have my periods again. Well, today is the day. Aunt Flow, the crimson tide.... it has returned just in time for me to go to Disneyland on Friday. HOPEFULLY it is all be over by then. Now that I can't take birth control pills to control my periods (my tumor was estrogen responsive so no birth control pills for me ever again), I hope that it is not too awful.
In other news:
I think my body is getting used to Tamoxifen now, I have not been having nearly as many hot flashes as I was when I first started taking it.
I mentioned in my previous post I was see a therapist/Clinical Social Worker. I saw her for a few sessions and I am feeling better now. We think just getting it all out and learning that what I am feeling is pretty normal helped.
I FINALLY found an apartment that allows cats and is in my budget! I moved in this weekend. It was really quick because I am going to Disneyland next weekend so it was either do it this past weekend or wait two weeks until I get back from Disneyland. I did not want to wait. It's a mess right now and I don't know where anything is. It definitely not going to be all organized before I leave, I have rehearsals in the evenings so it will take some time to squeeze in unpacking and organizing.
