I think I have my Oncologist stumped!

Saw my doctor today. Last night my b/p was sky high....I had been doing better with it.

So another drug has been entered into the mix. We will see. I actually made the nurse sit with me and make a time schedule to make sure I get everything in!! I am currently taking 21 pills a day. (my head is shaking now, cuz I struggle with taking an aspirin!)

Just to clarify since some have asked. I do not have Hypertension. This is totally a drug induced issue....from the chemo pills I am on now. Similar to Avastin. When the time comes I am no longer on this medication, my b/p will be normal. But trust me, I will never minimalize when I hear someone has high blood pressure. Mercy!

We did have a wonderful Easter. You can see bits of it on my other blog, Thinkin' of Home.

Yes, we did feel the earthquake....very unusual here.....

Happy Easter Everyone!

I just wanted to take a moment to wish all of my blogging friends and prayer pals a wonderful Easter.
I am feeling better. I believe we are getting closer to solving the b/p issue. I actually am leaving the house for a bit today to meet up with my dear friend Misty. We are going to check out a new scrapbook store. Well, new to us!

I will see my doctor on Monday...and I think it may be a better visit! At least that is my prayer....

Talk to you next week!

Just letting you know....

I am really struggling with this blood pressure issue and the new chemo. I have yet to be on the chemo for more than 3 days (it is pills) before I have to be taken off and deal with my b/p. I have never dealt with anything like this and frankly....I don't like it. I am now on the max of the current b/p meds and we still need to see if that will work.

I feel ok, course, that is because of the lack of chemo....but, need to get this stable.

Just checking in.....

Monday's Dr. Appt.

Things are going much better. I am feeling pretty good. Actually got to go to church on Sunday, and with make-up on to boot!
Saw my oncologist today and he is pleased. My blood pressure is still giving us issues, but they uped the b/p meds and hopefully that will help.
I am telling you, they are wonderful people at Premier Oncology. I can tell that I really matter to them....not just a number. I really appreciate that.

Went and picked up a few groceries with my hubs and now I am home....

Thank you as always for your continued thoughts and prayers.

Update...

I AM feeling better. The "betterer" I get, the more I realize how sick I was.

All my blood work is back to normal, so I am back on the chemo, just a lesser dose. Hopefully, this will be the answer.

I actually ate a bit of a real supper last night! Oh, I love food. I shouldn't, but I do!

My head seems clearer, so I am trying to touch base with a few blogs.

Thanks for hanging in there with me!!! You are the best!

I think I just missed the hospital

Went to the doctor Monday and one look at me and they knew I was sick, sick, sick. They took tons of tests and gave me IV fluids. My liver is not outputting like it should, my blood pressure is sky high...they took me off the chemo until Friday and hopefully I will feel better. Then the dosage is going to be lowered.
Mercy. A little over a week ago I was enjoying time with Tom and Rose. Now I am down for the count, and trust me, today I feel better!!
My doctor was very concerned and took wonderful care of me.
Well, that it is for right now.....I will try to post later this week.

Chemo day #whatever!

Not a lot new here. I am struggling to get used to this new medication. I pretty
much am sleeping the day away...but, for whatever reason...can't stay asleep at night. Tonight we are going to try Advil PM.

Oh how I wish I could write that I feel better, but honestly, I don't. They said I should level out the next week or so....I hope that is true.

I am visiting, but sometimes, I don't feel like typing...

I am so thankful my hubby has been home with me. He just went to get me some ice cream. I hope that will taste good.

Better days are coming. That is my hope!
