Hey All:

 

So wanted to update everyone today that I saw my doctor to go over my labs and how things are going.  My doctor likes how I am feeling.  She has also mentioned that she can see in my face and neck has changed and slim down.  She was concerned that I have been losing weight and since I am a cancer survivor, wanted to make sure all is still ok and that likes how I want to lose some weight.  She is concerned that I am not noticing really any changes really and wants me to start using 2 patches of Estrodial instead of one to blast me hard and to then give her a call after 3 weeks to let her know how it's going.

 

Thanks All

 

Amy

A good report, Amy. It sounds like you've got a wonderful doctor who's looking out for all of you. I have my first appointment today, and I'm also a cancer survivor x2 - I'm really hoping this won't be an issue for me. I hope everything works out for you, and that you begin to see the results you're looking for very soon :)

Hello Gwen

 

Congrats on being a cancer survivor.  How long have you been free if you don't mind me asking?  I hope your first appt. goes very well.  I know for me I was nervous on my first appt.   Make sure to let your Dr. know about the cancer and they will also be on the look out and should tell you to keep up your normal checkup's with your primary

 

Hope you all the best and share.  It gets exciting

Thanks for the note, Amy. My last treatment was in 1999, and I'd say I'm fairing pretty well. (Fortunately, the health system that's giving me transgender care also did my last treatment.) Life seems to catch up to us as we age, but I'm committed to keep fighting. And now, with starting HRT, I feel so very optimistic, and just darn happy ... a good thing, right? I hope you're doing well at this point in your life, and fully enjoying your emerging true self. Love her and embrace her.

 

"It's get exciting"? I can't wait :)

      It's funny with photos isn't it, how we think we look in them vs. how we actually do look in them! I'm hopeless at smiling and I have to try really hard not to frown or look like a zombie. I'm never sure how I come across to others.   I had a moment late last night when my eldest daughter facetimed my wife for some now forgotten reason, and when I was handed the tablet and talking to her, I was fixated on my image in the corner. My hair was wild at the time, I was a bit tipsy and all I saw was a woman! I have no idea what she saw in that context. I'll probably never know.

      I hope to see you on the Zoom meeting tonight, April.  I might be late, since I am doing lights and sound for a play that opened last night.  I was home before ten last night, so I think I'll be able to make it.   Today is an anniversary for me.  Seven years ago today, I stood up at the weekly community kaffeeklatsch as <deadname> and announced that henceforth I would be Kathy.  It went as well as I could have imagined: there were some surprised looks, but no hostility and lots of support.  A whole layer of stress disappeared that day and has never come back.  (There have been other stresses, but that one is gone.)  I have been me full-time ever since that moment.

      This is a scarily accurate description of what I feel!   I hope I don't sound too schmaltzy by saying this, but I remember when I signed up to this forum last year, during the sign-up process the question is asked, "Why do you want to join TransPulse?" to which I wrote, "Looking for a home where I can freely write about my issues and interact with similar people."    I think I just found one. ❤️

      Good morning, everyone!! I was up early again - already on my third cup of coffee having walked/fed the dog and read the local paper.   We have a birthday party for a friend to go to this afternoon but no real plans otherwise.   I hope to be able to attend tonight's TGP Zoom session. It's been weeks since I've been able to participate with the illness/loss of our dog, two horrible colds in succession and our trip to chase the solar eclipse.   Have a wonderful day and look for the goodness in it.

      I think we tend to be overly critical of our looks, whether we're trying to express ourselves as masculine, feminine or anywhere along the gender spectrum. For me, I use photos as a way to track my progress, to help me find my style and look and to help me find ways to improve myself in posture, looks, make-up, style......   I didn't really think about our FB avatar being public but then realized that when people search they do see it.   Since I'm not out to anyone but my wife, therapist, priest and people here, my FB page remains "that guy." I have created a Bitmoji that is relatively androgynous moving slowly towards the feminine. Long gray hair, earrings, softer features...I'm transitioning it along with myself. :-)
