In this episode we discuss my appotinment with my oncologist regarding my hormone blocking meds. When you've dealt with a hormone positve breast cancer you are typically recommended and AI or tamoxifen for the next 5 to 10 years, which can come with not so fun side effects. BUT after my appointment I was reminded of the characterisitcs of my specific tumor and have made my decision.

We also discuss different methods for pain relief.

Be sure to stay until the end of this epsiode where you'll be able to get in a good laugh.
