Of JOY! Psych, I bet you thought after reading the title that something bad had happened. Nope, not this time! We just got home from my appointment with Dr. Howe and he gave us the very happy news that I won't need chemo or radiation!
He confirmed that I will have to be on tamoxifen for the next five years, meaning that the hormones in my body will be blocked by the meds, giving me menopause-like symptoms (and not very good for growing a baby). Dr. Howe is having a team member of his refer us to a couple fertility doctors, so we'll definitely be having a baby discussion before I start taking anything.
Hip hip HOORAY!
I am glad I saw Jason's status update first :) Otherwise I would have been worried :) So excited for the NO CHEMO and NO Radiation route!! Dr. Brown from OGI (obstetrics, gynecology and Infertility) clinic based out of Maple Grove and Edina is ABSOLUTELY amazing. She follows her patients and is a very talented physician. Top in MN. If you end up looking into her let me know and I will mention that you are my girlfriend!
