Chemo has really been kicking me this week. I was able stick it out on Monday and work the whole day, but I had to go home Tuesday at noon. I had to stay home yesterday morning, except for a oncology visit and I wasn’t able to make it to work until 10:30 AM this morning. When I saw the PA at the oncologist’s office yesterday my blood pressure was still low, e.g. 102/60. She said low BP is typical with chemo and recommended that I cut my BP med dose in half, which I did last night. Three things are dragging me down, chemo, low BP and high blood glucose from steroids, which are given prior to chemo infusion. If it’s this bad now I can’t image what it’s going to be like 5 months from now.
