@thebreastchapter: Apparently a leaf blower was my final straw this week. 😭 Cancer update + hormone therapy update because there is A LOT happening over here. I got my Zoladex shot, and the emotions have been EMOTIONING. One second I’m irritated, the next I’m angry, and then suddenly I’m crying over a leaf blower. So… we’re doing great. 🫠 At my oncology appointment Friday, we talked through the next phase of treatment. I finally got my letrozole prescription sorted out and took my first dose yesterday evening. Kisqali is a little more complicated. My white blood cell count is already low, and Kisqali can lower it even further, so we don’t want to jump into it without making sure my body is ready. I also never had an echo after finishing chemo, and because Kisqali can have cardiac effects, my oncologist wants to make sure my heart looks good too. So for now: repeat labs + an echo, and then we’ll decide whether Kisqali is the right move or whether we need to switch to Verzenio. And listen… I’m REALLY hoping Kisqali works out because the amount of diarrhea stories I have heard about Verzenio has me like absolutely not. 💩 We also had a BIG conversation about whether I want to continue Zoladex injections for the next several years or have my ovaries removed instead. My oncologist is okay with me exploring surgery, so after doing a ton of research, my next step is making an appointment with a gynecologic oncologist to talk through ovary removal and what that would actually look like for me. And THIS is where I need my community. 🤎 If you’ve taken letrozole, Kisqali, or Verzenio, tell me your experience… the good, the bad, the weird, ALL of it. And if you chose to have your ovaries removed, I especially want to hear from you. How was surgery? Recovery? How did you feel afterward? Would you make the same decision again? Drop it in the comments because I know I’m not the only person trying to make these decisions, and your experience might help someone else reading too. 🤎 Another chapter of figuring this shit out as we go. 🎀 p.s. idk how I got that scab on my nose 👃🏻 #breastcancer #cancertok #BreastCancerAwareness
