The one thing on my mind today is that the endocrine therapy medication is causing me to have higher glucose numbers just when the other med was bringing them down. I am told or it is recommended highly to take the Astrazole to prevent the occurence of breast cancer at a later date. Not only is it causing issues with blood glucose levels, but it also has a number of other side effects that I started to feel already on day 2.
So, this is larger than the question of discomfort and medication. How do I want to live my life? How much risk of death by cancer or diabetes or heart problems do I want to take on? Right now, I say no to more medication which staying on all these things will mean because I will have to take more diabetes medication if I stay with the endocrine therapy course for 5 years. How much risk am I willing to take? How do I want to live my life? It is a tough question that I don't have answers for. My higher self, the Universal being, I feel is being called to trust the future that I won't have a reoccurrence or that it will be manageable like this time. I am very willing to get regular mammograms as often as necessary to perhaps spot this very early. I was willing to take the medication without so many side effects.
I have asked for a consult with my Oncologist, Dr. DeYao when she is available. I will wait for then.
