had another appointment today at CancerCare… I had seen them three months ago for my usual six month appointment and they weren’t able to do the test they needed because of the pain it caused…

apparently I had a yeast infection, so they sent me home to take some drugs and come back in three months instead of the usual six…

I hadn’t had any obvious symptoms of a yeast infection so was rather nervous about the whole thing…

took the drugs, which then caused another medical issue, so had to take more drugs… yikes… was worried that the yeast infection may not have gone, particularly as I had no symptoms…

thankfully, Crystal was able to get time off from her new job so she could go with me…

as I am now being seen by the nurse/practitioner, we didn’t have to wait long at all… she was able to do the test and felt that the yeast infection was gone, which was a big relief…

I asked about my hands and face being particularly dry and whether this is due to a lack of estrogen… it is hard to tell but it may be that my body is missing it a bit… may have to try an ointment to see if that makes any difference…

usually they only call if there is a problem with the test results, but she is going to call when they are in so that I don’t have to worry… lovely young woman…

after the appointment we ran a few errands and picked up a few last minute gifts…
