Along with me. My blood pressure has been trying to stay out of wack, I can't seem to get my diastolic below 80 where it should stay so now I am on blood pressure meds. For my general health it should stay that low, but for the clinical trial it must stay that low. I think at one point it spiked to 165/103 or so. NOT GOOD. But considering the circumstances I think anyones would have spiked up.
While waiting for the pressure to drop my nurse had been filling me up with a hydrating saline solution. Then I could begin my Taxotere wich I take first. Well , as it started to go in I began to feel strange like something was stuck in my throat or esophagus area, definitely some pressure feeling. We are supposed to tell the nurse if we feel anything weird or strange however small, So I said to her, "I feel kind of weird"..."I"... and bamn that was all I could say cause then I couldn't breathe AT ALL. My nurse , Fran quicky turned off my taxotere and administered a benedryl injection and some steroid called solumedrol. Also she put some oxygen on my nose for better breathing, I felt better almost right away, just a litle scared that all of the nurses came over to make sure I was ok, then point at how red my face was and then point to bright red objects and say "you're face was that red!"
New drugs this week, something for B/P, and this time something for anxiety. It is for when I cant sleep from the dexamethasone I am taking to not have allergic reactions... hmm those sorta didnt work well this time.
Hair has pretty much fallen all out and I am a scarve hat lady, though I have seen some nice wigs lateley... hmm.
Other news, the neighbors had a fire that came across to this side of the fence. No damage to the shed that sits there, I think he(the neighbor) hosed it down while waiting for the fire fighters. So the fiefighters leave having cleared the area with a dirt break so nothing could escape during the night and burn more. Well around nine I took a peak outside and see that the fence up the hill is still burning . So the neighbor was awakened fire was buketted out the end.
