Keeping up to keep up!

Hi all,

I am doing fine these days just a little muscle soreness which I figured out might be from the Aromasin, an oral ERP inhibitor like Rimidex or Femara. I guess it has the least amount of side effects so a little soreness isn't much to whine about. They put me on that as my surgery is a little outside the normal window (8 weeks from the last chemotherapy session). This drug is to control or inhibit any cancer growth in the cells, we'll see if it does the trick I just didn't want another chemo session as I was so far out that I was beginning to "taste" again. That metallic taste has finally left my mouth so I am beginning to enjoy food again, but not too much.

So to spend the days I am going through closets, cupboards and even cookbooks to whittle down our moving weight and of course every few years you need to "glean the supplies" for extra baggage. I am not accomplishing by myself as I still can't lift but 10 pounds so my friends, sisters have happily volunteered to do the purging for me. It's a release to sit and "that stays or that goes".

My pre-op appointments start next week (9/16), one with the surgeon and one with the anesthesiologist and then to a short pre-admission with the hospital. The surgery will be done at UCSD Thornton Hospital. The surgery is 9/24 at 12:30PM.

That's all for now, thank you all for being such loyal friends and family checking in every so often.

Hugs, Deb
