My blood pressure was a little elevated again today at my doctor's appt, but I attribute that to the fact that I was super nervous about the results of my CT scan.  My doctor came in and sat next to me and was trying to make small talk and the whole time I just wanted to know what my results were!  The nurse was at the computer and I saw that she was bringing up the CT scan images and then she pulled it over to where the doctor and I were sitting.  The doctor then said that my CA-125 number had gone up 2 points again, but my CT scans looked really good and so she was really glad that we had the scan done this week.  She is not sure why the CA-125 number is going up (it is at 27 now) but it can unfortunately be caused by a lot of things.

I am now 1 1/2 years out from my last chemo cycle!  I can't believe it has been almost 2 years since I was diagnosed with cancer!  The trial study coordinator came and talked to e and said that I will just have two more CT scans at the 3 month interval and then I will get bumped to a 6 month schedule!

The doctor said that my blood pressure was a little bit elevated but it was low enough already that they could still treat me today.  After I was through with the doctor I went and got some lunch and then checked in at the infusion desk.  When they called me back to the infusion room they came to take my blood pressure and the nurse said to not record it if the lower number is higher than 90.  Well, it was right at 90 and I said that the doctor had already okayed my blood pressure and she said that the pharmacist had called and they want to see my blood pressure lower before they okayed the avastin...  Not too happy about that...  After two more tries the lower number was still at 90 but apparently the pharmacist okayed it and so they gave me the avastin without anymore problems...  I seriously think that they are making me super nervous each time they come to take it!
