Hey folks, sorry it has been way too long. Not much to report other than last Sunday when Becca was extremely lightheaded and dizzy for almost the entire day, repeatedly having to sit or lie down. And she was mad. Smokin' mad. Sometimes to the point of tears. Clearly some chemical imbalance was taking place, but with all the drugs Becca is still on, that could be a hard one to pin down. Tamoxifen is the main suspect, and she will be on that for a very long time, so I think a lot of her anger and sadness was at the prospect of this being the status quo from here on out. The next day was much better, and she has started taking the Tamoxifen at night instead of in the morning (thank you, Internet). No relapses all week.
Having a day like this really reminds us of how close we are to slipping back into the mountain of anxiety we dealt with last year. As much as we like to say we have gotten through it, it is still with us, right there beneath the surface. You get yourself back on track as much as you can but a year like 2009 is not easily forgotten.
Oh and gall bladder boy is doing fine, thank you. I am pretty much fully functional, but those of you who normally greet me with a punch in the gut (you know who you are) will have to refrain for another week or so.
