I had my labs done again yesterday. All the blood counts are perfectly normal - right where they should be. However, my BP is up to 140/80. I had a new prescription for replacing the Norvasc which I can't take due to the clinical trial. I didn't want to take it since my BP was perfect last week. Based on the BP yesterday, I picked up the prescription. I have to take one in the morning and one at night. One of the side effects is being drowsy. I fought nodding off all morning today. If the same thing happens through the weekend, I will talk with my internist Monday. I really don't want to be so sleepy.
The nurse from CU called me today. I have to see the Dr. before each infusion and he won't be available on the 23rd. After discussing the options with her, we decided to move my #3 Infusion to Sept 30. That will make it four weeks, not three, but it will give me a full week more to recover from #2. It was either that or make two trips to Aurora the week of the 23rd. She indicated no problem with it being four weeks - not three. Hopefully, there won't be too many of these rescheduled appointments. That will only delay the ending of this whole thing.
