The doc says I'm in surveillance mode. Basically this means that I get a CT scan every year and get my tumor markers checked every 3 months. Otherwise I'm supposed to notify her if I start having any new symptoms. So far so good.
I am scheduling an appointment to get an IUD placed. I need the progesterone in the Mirena to balance out the daily estrogen that I'm currently taking. Rather than take progestin in pill form every 3-4 months, I can leave my Mirena in for over 5 yrs. I'm not looking forward to the pain, and I have a nice little stash of oxycodone just for the occasion. I have actually had the experience of inserting one and I know for a fact that they are extremely painful unless you have had kids. Thank god for drugs...
