I am determined in many things; primarily, I am determined to see the end of these things. I am determined that the strength of the day will be found and through that strength, I will be able to handle what is sent my way. I have been reflecting on many things and today, I took a stand. As I was disucssing my next hormone shot with the nurse, I was reassured that I do have a say in what goes on with my health and my welfare. I know that for the past year, it does not appear to feel that way. In many ways, I feel as though choices have been made for me. I do not particularly care for that. This, in which I do not always care to discuss, is the formost concern for me. I do not like my decisions taken from me for anything. I like to be the main holder on things. I know that I have asked a lot of questions and sought many things; the importance on these matters cannot be just simply addressed.
I will be addressing the issues surrounding the hormone shots--lupron. I have experienced every sort of side effect from it. I was told that I had little other options from the treatments now because the hormone estrogen was the culprit from my type of breast cancer. From this point, there really is only one more other option that I would rather choose and that would be a permanant long term option--surgery and to remove the ovaries that are offensive to my body. The feelings from menopause would be substantially reduced; for the most part, I would have more protection from it longterm. I am very curious about it.
These hormones are the worst and have done more damage to me than good. But, I am working to move forward.
Pushing on. Pressing in. Discovering on.
