Hi All,
Update on me.... I went to get my first treatment for Avastin today and it was a NO GO. My blood pressure was toooo high. And since they have to watch the blood pressure closely while you are taking Avastin, I couldn't start today. So now I get to take blood pressure medicine and they will try next week. Please say an extra prayer for me that my blood pressure comes down.

I would be a perfect
I would be a perfect candidate for Avastin. I have chronically low BP. It's a rare day that mine breaks 100.

Linda, I'm sorry to hear of
Linda, I'm sorry to hear of blood pressure issues. When you are ready to get treatment underway it is such a disappointment to be turned away. It doesn't help that the stress of the moment can send BP higher than it would normally be - this happens to me all the time. Hope the meds help get it in better shape ... and maybe practicing a little meditation for mind calming could be helpful too.
Sending calming thoughts your way.

oh poo. Good luck next go
oh poo. Good luck next go around. I have always had very low blood pressure and yet just before surgery and a couple times at Dr. visits it has been "just slightly below high blood pressure". I would almost fall off my chair, or off the gurney. I didn't think I felt that much anxiety but my body sure said so! Better luck next time, Susan0
