I have definitely crossed some kind of inflection point in my cancer journey. Up until now, I had gotten so used to frequent medical treatment that appointments felt typical and routine. Today, for the first time in a long time, I went to get my blood drawn in advance of a hepatology appointment next week, and I felt like it was an aberration from my schedule, an inconvenience. Even though my actual feelings were kind of negative, I figure it's a positive development overall, a sign that cancer is not such a central fixture in my day-to-day life anymore.
Anyway, I looked up my results online, and my LFTs (liver function tests) are essentially back to my pre-Tamoxifen values. Yay! (Numbers in red were problematically out of range.)
