Results are in ...
I got the results from my brain MRI and blood tests today. The pituitary tumor is stable, and the rest of my brain "remains unremarkable". I love that wording! My tumor markers were both normal, which means ... I get to take a break from chemo! They checked my estradiol levels (estradiol is a form of estrogen) and I am not in menopause yet, despite monthly shots to shut down my ovaries. I suspect that I will have to start taking Tamoxifen again. And I will probably have my ovaries surgically removed sometime in the near future. But right now, I'm not worried about that ... just so happy to not have to get chemo for a while. Hopefully it'll be a good, LONG while!
