Surgery Follow-Up

[Original Text:  Yesterday I had my first post-surgical follow-up with my surgeon. Started on about 2/2-3/2018.]

I just realized I never finished this post. My internet was off for most of a week, and I completely lost track of what I meant to say here.

The long and the short of it would seem to be that my tests came back about as good as could possibly be expected, though I am still waiting for results from a couple of tests (including the BRCA gene test). 

Now I have appointments with other doctors for continuing treatment. That includes a "hormone therapy", that really should be called a hormone-blocking therapy. Don't ask me I didn't name it. 
It also includes radiation treatment. Both are to ensure the cancer is entirely gone.

I continue to struggle with some discomfort, as well as difficulty sleeping. I'm working on getting my appetite under control. And I continue to go forward with my other diagnostics, in hopes of improving my chances at a favorable disability determination.

I will be sure to add updates, as soon as I know anything substantial. Thank you for your interest.
