Linda met with her Internist today and got some medication changes and a plan to go through the blood pressure issues that will be arising with this cycle of chemo. Tomorrow we meet with the Oncologist Nurse Practitioner for more information and ideas.....all of this is to head off the many difficulties she had in the first cycle.
The "bone pain" that comes with the type of chemo used is starting to show tonight.....hopefully the steroids administered this time will ease that pain which lasts for about 4 days before easing.
My hyper tension showed up harshly this morning...199 systolic.....I'm working hard to keep it in check...the rest of the day has shown it to be lower.
We mentioned that our friend Steve stopped by the other day and brought a gift from his wife Kathy...a very cool Christmas block that says BELIEVE when lit up...here it is:

ps..."YES"..the hair is coming out again...it was coming back nice and fuzzy...but the new chemo rounds are taking it away...good thing there is a "Cranial Prothesis"..aka a "Wig".
