You don't want to make anything worse. After we went to that conference in Philly where they talked so much about exercising during chemo for those of us who are metsters I decided I was going to DO IT. Well, I couldn't. I was just too sick. I don't know if I'll be able to do it this round of chemo either. <br /><br />MY blood pressure is causing me difficulties. First, it cancelled my first Taxotere infusion because it was too high. It took about a week to get it under control, then it went WAY too low! Doc thinks it was a combination of Dexamethasone and morphine or who knows what!! BP was fine during majority of chemo today but then started to climb. Luckily we got the Taxotere in, but then it went too high for the Herceptin. Onc said to go to family doc. I talked with nurse and laid down, did some resting and deep breathing, took a pee, came back and it was low enough. We checked BP about 6 times before calling onc and asking for the go-ahead. Of course he thought I'd left the building. HA!! Not sure what's going on but I didn't FEEL any different. Keep on fighting. I'll do my best and you do yours - and that's all we can do in this stupid fight.Lisahttp://www.lisarendall.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3479782985101649883.post-31627807199117773742010-11-10T19:28:46.513-07:002010-11-10T19:28:46.513-07:00I am glad that the infection is clearing up.
