Chrisy, All things considered that sounds like great news! Just the fact that it has totally stopped the cancer is fantastic. Can't wait to see what you scans show in another six weeks. If its working this good in such a short time...I can only imagine it kicking some serious behind by then. (Positive thinking here!) 
I am glad to hear this combination of drugs is doable and you have timed everything out to where it works out for you. Thank goodness for rest stops...they DO come in handy.  (If there is a will...there is a way.) As to your blood pressure it really might be your norm. I know I've always heard blood pressure is higher *early* in the morning. But its good to check it to make sure. I am so glad you are doing ok and hanging in there. I can't wait to hear the good news from your next scan. Keep us updated.
Sending warm healing positive thoughts and prayers.
Chelee
