On the 11th October I had to go and once again have a CT scan. My oncologist wanted me to have one to make sure that I am all clear and the chemotherapy has done it's stuff and to have a baseline scan to have something to compare to if the need ever arises for me to have a CT again. I can now honestly say that I have seen most of my body from the inside out.
On the 14th October Darren and I went to my oncologist for my final checkup and to discuss where to from here. I was really nervous on the way to the appointment as I was afraid that they were going to give me bad news....but I needn't have worried. The first thing my doctor told me was that the CT scan had shown no signs of any tumours. I was jubilant and let out a loud 'wahoo'. It was over, the journey back to recovery was all but finished.
We discussed what was to happen next regarding the Tamoxifen medication which I will be taking for the next five years to hinder the production of eostrogen in my body, therefore making it difficult for more breast cancer to return. I will see the oncologist again late November to start on this but for now I need a holiday from all things medical.
