October 1...Begin Next Phase!

Today I start to take the anti-cancer drug tamoxifen for five years....I guess my hormones are in for a wake-up call (a go-to-sleep call?).

I also have several doctors debating whether tamoxifen alone is enough....

...or whether I should take a shot every month to squash my ovaries (and kill my life as a somewhat happy productive person, by some accounts!)....

...or whether I should just have another lovely surgery to rip out my lady parts altogether! Get it all over with quickly (?) and take away the estrogen production AND the risk of tamoxifen giving me endometrial cancer.

Decisions...decisions...this girl-stuff is so FUN. What will it be...estrogen naps, ovary comas, or slash and burn?

For now, it's tamoxifen and PUNT! Tomorrow is another day.
