jaminkw Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I was hanging out in Port St Lucie with my daughter and grandson waiting to go back up to MDACC for an appointment with a cancer doctor who is up on the Avastin-blood pressure issue. After a three hour drive, they took my pressure: 120 over sixty and a heart rate of 78. I haven't seen numbers like that in a very long time (even before Avastin!). The doc was great, said my PCP had done it perfectly and she wouldn't change anything--it just took a long time for it to come down. I was supposed to make the 5-hr drive back to Key West on Thursday but made a last minute change Thur am. My new flexibility when it comes to a schedule amazes my family. I'll drive back Sunday after three extra days of "Nonie" time. Judy in Key West Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patti B Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Well, good for you, girlfriend!! It sure took a lot of time getting that BP thing under control, but apparently well worth the wait. I had the same problem with Avastin and will now be living headaches free forever!!! Enjoy your Nonie time!!! You earned it!!

Tiny Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 The "Nonie Time" is probably good for the BP, as well. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaroleHammett Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Great news, Judy. There's nothing greater for one's morale than once again being the "comeback kid." Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
