More fun with Tamoxifen

Yeast infections. Every month I get a mini yeast infection, it lasts for 5-10 days though. It doesn't feel like enough to bother with sometimes but it does ruin sex. And the random periods sure don't help that either.

I still have alot of pain in the affected boob. I feel like the implant is so large and the skin layer there is so thin. I have an appointment this week with the plastic surgeon to ask about it.

I'll be making an appointment with my oncologist pretty soon to ask about Zometa and this news as well as asking about all the Tamoxifen side-effects.

My Arm Is Killing Me

My arm is weak and in pain from all the injections, infusions and blood draws in the last few months. They don't like to use the other arm since I had the mastectomy there so everything is coming and going with my left arm. Chemo #2 bruised me and #3 must have hit a nerve or something because it really hurts there.

On the up side I got my tissue expander re-inflated today so my right half finally matches my left. 2 more inflations and we'll be ready for the implant to finish the reconstruction. I can't wait.

Muscle Pain

My legs are aching for the past two days. I don't know if it's a genuine side effect or if I just over did it shopping for wigs. Either way climbing the stairs is a real pain.
