Medical Update

My poor Dr and PA.....

Went to office with lots of concerns, esp my blood pressure and heart rate. We talked about concerns and meds and side effects. I continue to be that "nth" percent that has extreme side effects and odd reactions... Sigh...

My appt was more than an hour. Will be taking away one of my injections for a month. Hoping to isolate other injection to track severe side effects.
Will be adding a script reflux med plus OTC reflux med together. Will be reducing a med dosage of med that was just increased. Will be sleeping propped up too.

Dr doesn't want to tweak anything more until we can track these changes over next month. Lots of discussions about"what next" once we have info from these.

Will go ahead with labs and appts next week. Will meet with the oncology dietician, will get estrogen suppression injection, will see oncology PA.

Really do feel bad for my oncology team. There are so many things that I struggle with, that my dr is seeing same concerns that I experienced last time even with completely different drugs, that they don't know what to do with me. I am just not a "stay inside the box" kind of person when it comes to medical etc. Thankful for a team that is so patient and willing to keep trying to figure things out. Thankful for Preston and his willingness to come with me to appts to help. Thankful for Ceana always willing to be my driver. Always blessings in the midst of the yuck. Always.
