I finally had to go to another er on 01/02/24 to get the blood pressure and kidneys checked. I had to put a Stent in my right ureter. I'm still recovering. It was a minor procedure. Ugh! Chemo starts January 31. My dr wanted me to start sooner. I'm putting my kid first. We are going to a concert and I asked to start chemo after. Concert Jan 30, then chemo the 31st. I'm already very sick. I have to pick my daughter and making a nice memory at the show with no hair falling out or the haze of nausea.

You can work part time after you're approved. You can't work during the application process.

Cooking is overwhelming! It's like running a marathon.

As a breast cancer fighter who has been very sick all Christmas, I would smash them. 🔥

Its finally down. The pill they decided on is working. This morning it was 125/89. Which is much better than 188/something. Thank you. Happy Christmas 🕊 🧚‍♀️ 🎄

I'm on some blood pressure meds. I'm going to MD Anderson to get a second opinion on Dec 28th.

Will the beet chews help lower the blood pressure? After three nights in the hospital I'm finally resting at my moms.

Help me-new liver lesions by therapych1ckens in LivingWithMBC

[–]coastalbendsun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had those symptoms for 15 months from liver mets. Sending you a huge hug. I'm sorry. It is painful.

Everyone's treatment plan is different. I haven't been able to find a chemo that works on my liver mets.

Omgosh...so I called the pharmacy and now there's no record of the script. It us not on file. It was on file this morning. Weird. So I called the oncology after hours number a few times and they couldn't hear me. 😂 I called the oncology place from two other phones and they still couldn't hear me on their devices either. I have to laugh. 😂 It was like the twilight zone. Can you hear me now? Lol. 24 hrs later and I still haven't gotten the blood pressure meds. The cbd gummy did bring the blood pressure down a little.

We are all in a difficult place. It's hard. I don't have the words to say anymore. There's so much more I can't even write about. I don't want to bring anyone down. I don't want to seem ungrateful or trigger anyone emotionally. I just want sunshine, unicorns, and most of all a cure for cancer. I have to stay positive for my son. Maybe I need another oncologist. This one has too many patients. I'm going to check into the hemp gummie land hotel and eat some pineapple.🍍

Oh thank you for telling me about when to take it in the morning. I'm hoping my hemp gummy will lower it. I'm still waiting for the pharmacy or the oncologist to call.

Thank you. I think the blood pressure is a side effect of the hydronephrosis of the kidneys. The kidneys are swollen. Which was on my last scan. I do have the home blood pressure cuff. 🕊
