Going to make this short and sweet since I'm in a bit of pain and my head is spinning! I had my sixth and final expansion this morning! Woo hoooo! So very exciting :) No more weekly appointments and days of nausea from the pain meds. All I have to do is wait wait wait (patiently, of course) for New Boobs Day to roll around (76 days) and I'll be on my way to my new old self.
I was right about the hot flashes last week; they've officially begun. It's been quite a hot and humid week so it's not helping, and I've been waking up 3-4 times a night overheating and uncomfortable. I'm exhausted! I'll try to roll over on my stomach (no way, ouch!) or side, (again, ouch) to air out my back but that hasn't been seeming to work all that well. I'm keeping on with the flax seed though; I know it'll kick in one of these days and it won't be so bad anymore. I'm meeting with my oncologist in two weeks to check in on how the Tamoxifen is going, and I have a list of vitamins that are supposed to help the flashes that I'm going to run by him. Until then, it's a hot child in the city!
I feel for you Honey, not fun at all!
