doing well

Since learning that I am in remission, I have continued to feel a little better each day. Headaches have continued on some days as the docs have worked to get my BP down. Finally had to visit a hypertension specialist last Friday. As of last night, he has changed most of my BP meds - either eliminated or reduced dosage - and has added a couple different meds. I met with Dr Einhorn today and he explained that my high BP issue is "very complicated." Apparently, the latest blood and urine tests have shown certain measured substances are high and those substances cause BP to be high. And, there is an effect on BP by the Avastin that I get (and got today) - but they don't really know how. In any case, I learned today that my blood counts are "remarkable". Hemoglobin, white cell count and others are all back very close to normal. So...that's a good thing. Oh by the way, my hair is starting to grow back and it is coming in something like peach fuzz so far ;-)
