I went to the appointment with the Oncologist today-Not much more to say other than Im supposed to take Tamoxifen for 5 years (note to self: check on side effects vs long term benefits) Radiation although he wouldnt give me a timeframe for how long Ill have to go-He did say that I would have to go five days a week for awhile. The big negative on this is that no one does radiation locally-so I have to drive a minimum of an hour away, five days a week.
While I completely intended not to change my regular daily life-this now seems to be an impossible aspiration. Becoming overwhelmed seems to be looming over me - I think I have 4 appointments over the next 2 weeks, not including rads treatments. I also had to sign a release upon receiving my tamoxifen perscription that said something about how some insurances only cover up to $350 - and if they dont cover it, the scrip costs around THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
I'm sure Tricare covers it, at least in part- I have to make a phone call tomorrow to the tricare pharmacy and see if they carry it on base...if so then I don't have to worry about cost at all...which would be nice.
I have committed to Google Calendar to help me keep track of work schedule, doctors appointments as well as reminders to do things that need to be done within a certain frame-not to mention extra curricular activities for the rest of us.
I guess what I'm wanting right now is a couple of days to take a breather-to do nothing other than lay around and relax-no appointments no work..that would be...refreshing..
