0:00.0 | Good morning, everyone. It's tied in Julie with Chrissy Confessions. How are you today, |
0:15.6 | darling? I'm doing well. Thank you. It's been a crazy day. Yes, it has as always. But let's start |
0:21.6 | out with some good news. Today, you had your oncology appointment. Yes. I got a great, great results. |
0:33.2 | It was kind of weird because my appointment was March 22nd. March 22nd, 2022. March 22nd, 2012. |
0:45.6 | I was that John Hopkins having a double mistake to me. How weird is that my appointment happened |
0:50.8 | to fall exactly 10 years to the day that I had my double mistake to me. I thought, oh my gosh, |
0:58.9 | this is so weird. But yes, I had a, it was great. Love my new doctor and just got, yeah, it was great. |
1:09.3 | And now you're off of the Tamax. Off the Tamax, which has been 10 years. Yes, 10 years. |

2:11.6 | cut down your chance of reoccurrence. But it also has side effects from the side effects that I |
2:18.6 | have personally experienced. I guess the first one would be weight gain, mood swings, aching in |
2:26.0 | just like your bones joints, just aching, aching, aching. That's that was a big one that I had. |
2:33.2 | But there's also long term, if you that can have memory loss, |
2:38.0 | okay, just a fog almost, it's almost like a chemo fog. And you had that. I've had that |
