We are in a deep freeze here again for a few days- dog walker cancelled this morning!

Visit with the oncologist yesterday. He has put me on a medication called Arimidex ( similar to Tamoxifin but apparently better) Hormone (estrogen) suppressor I think( have to do some reading). Lots of interesting side effect possibilities (most apparently uncommon) including hot flashes!
Pharmacist told me I should take Vit D 2000 IU/.day! And I also do need to increase Calcium intake. Suddenly seems I am taking an awful lot of pills every day! ( I started taking Iron and Multivit after surgery plus also have Immodium, Crestor and Actonel)

No chemo at the moment.

Having extensive blood work, Bone Density and Bone Scan and Full CT scan ( to create a baseline after my surgery) See him again in a month.

Got this rather nice pic of the dogs yesterday. Had another with their heads turned facing me but unfortunately it is a bit out of focus.
