It's been awhile

I know, it's been awhile since I have written anything. But, thankfully, not much is going on with mom. She is slowly recovering and gaining back her strength. She is still getting used to the Arimidex and it's generic, Anastrazole. After a month of not knowing if she would be able to get the lower cost on the generic version, Diplomat came through with a cost of $7.00 a month for the generic. That is a life saver as the other pharmacies that she checked had the drug ranging from $70.00 a month to $370.00 a month! We are hoping that this price sticks and she won't have to worry about the cost going forward.

Mom is going for follow up visits for Dr. Pratt, her surgeon and Dr Bagai, the oncologist this week. Mom had a bone scan last week. This was to check her bone density as one of the side effects of anastrazole is bone density loss. I'll be going to the appointment with Dr. Bagai on Friday.

The Race for The Cure Walk is in 13 days. Mom has been in training doing alot more walking than she has done in the past 5 years. It is so great to see her so enthused to do the walk. I know that the day of the walk will be emotional, but so worth it. Right now, we have 11 team members and this could grow before the actual day of the walk. I'm very proud to say that we have surpassed the goal that I set for the team!! Mom has been out there getting donations from friends and family! Go Pauline's Posse!
