hello everyone! My dad was diagnosed with MBC in June of 2022. He is currently on lupron, xjeva every 6 months, Ibrance, and letrozole.
Random question for y’all: have you had an increase in blood pressure since going on any of these meds? His BP has always been pretty normal but every time at the oncologist his BP is like 165/80. Please let me know if you have experienced anything like this. This only happened after he went on these meds. Thanks everyone!
After reading your post for the second time, a light bulb came on. My blood pressure is totally normal at home. In the hospital, it is always like your father's. It is the standard white coat syndrome. Good for you that you take care of your father. I wish you peace, happiness and love for your goodness. I will be eight-six in twenty-five days and am an extremely lucky person to be as able and independent as I am, now. The family is there and watchful but is hands off, for now. Recently I was in hospital for major surgery and the family crowded in and helped, totally. Then they all pulled back because that is the way want it. Keep up the wonderful work. I am sure your father appreciates you being there for him. XXX OOO
that’s so funny that you say this because I just got him an at-home BP cuff and yesterday morning at the doctor it was 180/90 and then at home it was 130/82! I think it’s totally attributed to white coat syndrome / anxiety at the doctors. Wishing you nothing but independence in your daily life and good health moving forward! Thanks so much.
Greetings:😇 White Coat Syndrome is real. It even affects me someone who is very healthy. I am sooo into health and wellness, that my loved ones call me Dr., and ask for advice..😀 I know that even though I am calm, and I like(d) my Dr.s. A Dr. at the medical facility I go to still that misdiagnosed me almost an entire year, even after showing them a visible lump. at that time. The Dr. who read my X-ray , and said it wasn't cancer 16 years ago tried to cover up his mistake, after the cancer metastasized, and I had another lump in a different area. So even now it is hard for me to trust any Dr. even the one's I think I like🤔. So White coat syndrome is real. I go back to that medical facility so that I won't let fear, or anger overcome me, or rob me of the gift of forgiveness, and my opportunity to make it into the Pearlie Gates of Heaven. That Dr. that misdiagnosed me, and tried to cover it up isn't there anymore thank GOD. Otherwise White Coat Syndrome would have my pressure off the charts sending me to the emergency room high🙃. GOD bless you as you care for your Dad.😇🙏
