Follow up with the gynecologic oncologist
Yesterday I went to see Dr. I. Even with an appointment at 7:30 am, I still waited an hour for him to swoop in, do a ten second exam, and swoop back out. I did see him in his office afterwards and we discussed my mastectomy, and my future with him. He's going to continue to monitor me for ovarian cancer every six months as we've been doing. I have a prescription for my annual CA-125 blood test, and my internal ultrasound of my ovaries. I did ask him about the possibility of going on birth control pills as a means to reduce my risk, but he feels that it doesn't provide enough of a reduction to make it worth having to remember a pill every day for who knows how long. He said if I want it, he will give me a prescription though. I decided to pass. So, for now, I'm just being monitored same as always!
