Almost 3 months of nothing new to report...until now.
A few weeks ago I started having some unusual vaginal bleeding. Last week it became extremely heavy, let's just say I couldn't go an hour without changing pads. Thursday morning I called the new Gyno with whom I had an appointment scheduled for July 7th and explained to the receptionist what was going on. She said to come in immediately. Once there the new Gyno (who I like very much) said we had to get the bleeding stopped. One option for most women is to take a Rx of hormones but since my breast cancer was hormone positive, this was not a good option for me. A D&C was scheduled for first thing Friday morning. I had no idea that a D&C requires you to be put completely under. The procedure was brief and I was home before lunchtime. Friday and Saturday I felt fine. Sunday I started feeling a bit run down. Today, forget it! I am out! I feel like I am on a boat, very dizzy.
Even though I feel very bad today, this morning I went for a mammogram and ultrasound. The results seem to be OK. Next week I will take the films and visit the Breast Surgeon.
I will visit the Gyno on July 1st. Prior to that I will have a vaginal ultrasound. Between the lab results of tissue from the D&C and the ultrasound she should be able to determine the cause of the bleeding.
It seems both my problems are hormone related. I am not sure if they are connected.
Stay tuned for more adventures on the high seas of Rhonda's health--did I mention I feel like I am on a boat today? Very rough waters!!!
