Thanks Sheila
I have been taking Avastin since Sept with the Tykerb, but since I now progressed to two "more" tumors he thought time for change.
I am on B/P meds since Oct. so far seems to keep it a bit lower. I always ran normal also but went up to around 139/89 where it seems to stay although last weeks reading was 114/78????? Thas was unusual even for me.
Do you think that the Avastin along with the Herceptin could cause added b/p issues? I was on Herceptin for 6 1/2 years some time back and I did notice that my pressure always ran a little higher then norm for me. Other then that, everything else was fine with my muga scans.
I guess I will see how I do. Its has been a few years now since I have tried the Herceptin.
Thanks Sheils
