Well...after a week, I am feeling so-o-o much better. Each day my strength and stamina get a little better. And, it is such a relief to know that I won't be slammed with chemo any time soon. I have been able to get into the office and have stayed until around 5-ish without any problems. I have still continued to have some headaches - last night was a real head-splitter. But, they are pretty well controlled with Advil. BP is still not really under control. But, we are working on that. Dr Forkin made quite a few med changes on Tuesday - including adding another med and changing timing and dosage of a couple others. BP was down yesterday; but, it was back up today. I will be talking to her later today to see what she wants to do next. When I saw her Tuesday, she did say that it may be time to bring in a hypertension specialist if the most recent changes don't do the job. But, even with the elevated BP and the headaches, I am doing so much better that during the rounds of chemo.
FYI, we leave for a cruise on Aug 18. We will be gone until Sept 9. So, there will be no blog updates for a few weeks.
