Eyes - Good News

I had my appointment with the ophthalmologist the other day.  We said the thickening of the macular space has improved slightly.   The cysts have not changed.  My eyesight in my left eyes might have improved also and she would like me to get my vision checked at the optometrist.

I go back and see the ophthalmologist in 3 months.

Hooray.  Stopping the tamoxifen was the right thing to do.

I have the oncologist next week.  Fingers crossed.

Tests

I went to get my mammogram, U/S on my right breast and my bone density on Saturday.  Mammogram and U/S are clear.  I am waiting for the results on the bone density from my oncologist, but there shouldn't be any issues.

I had a pelvic U/S last week.  My pelvic U/S only showed a small cyst, which was OK, per my gynecologist.

My right eye seems blurry today.  Feh on that.  Hopefully, my eyes will get better.

Tamoxifen

My second opinion ophthalmologist called me yesterday.  She said that she had reviewed the tests from the other ophthalmologist and wants me to stop the Tamoxifen immediately.  I informed her that I had already stopped it 1 1/2 weeks ago.  She wants me to come back for an eye recheck in 2-4 months and not 4-6 weeks.  So, we are now looking for a recheck date of January.

The Tamoxifen side affects are manageable.  I have a bad headache, stomach ache and seem to be thirsty all the time.  Hopefully, these will reduce as I am off the medication  longer.
