My Treatment

Thank God that my cancer is low grade (1/3) and that it's lobular. The oncologist said I don't need chemo 'cos of those 2 reasons.

I'll be
  1. taking Tamoxifen for 5 years. This is 2 white tablets about 0.5cm diameter taken every 24 hours. Started on 19 Dec 2008.
  2. going for a 3-monthly jab of Zoladex for 2 years, started on 19 Dec 2008.
  3. undergoing radiotherapy from 6 Jan 2009 to 18 Feb 2009 on week days excluding Chinese New Year, total of 30 sessions
Other than that would be annual visits to the doc. He said this when it was confirmed, that I'll be his patient for life.

Side Effects
Church friend said to pray against stated side effects and believe that it wouldn't happen. God's faithful (always!) and I'm not feeling any side effects.
