Medical Monday Update 💉🩺
It’s been a while since we’ve updated everyone on what’s been going on with Niki, so here’s the latest.
Since late April, she’s been going back and forth between a women’s specialist and oncology team due to bleeding issues caused by Tamoxifen. Since June 1, she hasn’t had any Tamoxifen which is what blocks estrogen, and is what was fueling her cancer.
The new plan is to switch from Tamoxifen to Exemestane, along with an additional injection that will completely suppress ovarian function and place her into medical menopause. She will also continue receiving her long-term Phesgo injections, which they believe is doing an excellent job at keeping the cancer away!
So, instead of moving forward with a hysterectomy, the team has decided that surgery will be a last resort & even has another plan on standby if needed!
Because Exemestane can cause bone thinning over time, she’ll have a bone density scan to establish a baseline so her doctors can monitor her bone health moving forward.
The only downside from today’s visit is that her bloodwork still shows she’s anemic, so that’s something we’ll continue working on.
Overall, we’re thankful for another treatment option that offers even better long-term odds of remission while allowing us to avoid surgery for now.
As always, thank you to everyone who continues to pray, check in, and support us. It means more than you’ll ever know. 💗🎗️
