I had my 6 month follow up with my medical oncologist this week. It's always weird going back to the chemo side of the 12th floor in Mount Sinai. So many painful/traumatic memories of that difficult time! But this appointment was a happier one and went very well.
I mentioned some of my lingering side effects, like tingling in my feet and hands, chemo brain and fatigue - but said how they are improving. Generally I am feeling stronger and stronger.
I also had Dr. Amir sign off on the draft return to work plan for me. And I asked about my mammogram results from last week, which were CLEAR! woot! that was a relief. Nothing has come up on physical exams but it is nice to get that reassurance from a mammogram for sure.
I am officially discharged from medical oncology now. I will be followed by my surgeon and radiation oncologist every 6 months/alternating. When we left I hugged Tess and Nancy goodbye and thanked them for everything. I pray to the universe that I never have to do chemo again!!!
