Last entry

Cancer and treatment seems long behind me now, hence the non-activity on this blog.

I continue to take my daily hormone therapy pills, which will be for the next 5 years. My periods have not stopped as anticipated, as the pills were supposed to bring on menopause. I think menopause is happening though as I have the dreaded night sweats. It is terrible having to go to bed in the middle of winter in the nod with a towel next to my bed ... real passion killer.

My next check up with the oncologist is on 01 September, only then will it be confirmed whether I need to take the medication that requires me to have an injection in my tummy for 3 years (because the periods haven't stopped). I also see my guynie on 30th August. Hysterectomy discussions, no doubt will happen then. I want to get it all over and done with this year so that hopefully next year will be a lot more productive and inspiring.

I have lost a lot of my desire to write, read or anything inspirational such as keep up with my recovery programme - although I did reach my 2 year milestone of sobriety on the 23 July - so I am still clean, but totally uninspired.

On that note, I guess this will be my last entry. For my own sake and memory, the next entry I make will be on my 5 year graduation date - which is round about 13 November 2014. This will be the date that there is absolutely no chance of cancer recurring. (.)(.)

As a final note - To my friend over the ocean - hoping that you still read this - because I would like to wish you a very happy 40th birthday for tomorrow - I shall be thinking of you.
