Blood Pressure Pressure

My treatments were going very well, but unfortunately we had to stop the Avastin, which is the primary drug that seem to stabilize the tumors. One of the common side effects of Avastin is high blood pressure, and mine went pretty crazy for a while. It was up around 170/115 for several weeks. We have been able to bring it down quite a bit with a salvo of three different hypertension medicines, but my doctor would like to hold off three more weeks before we do another Avastin infusion. In the meantime, I am still doing the Mitomycin and Xeloda. The last Avastin treatment was around Thanksgiving. I am a little nervous about the next CT scan because I have been off the Avastin for a while. The scan is scheduled for Friday 1/22.
