Interestingly during my checkups I noticed my blood pressure readings were higher than before my cancer experence. Prior to my cancer my blood pressure was quite low, in the 120 over 60 range, now it was as high as 150+ over 90. My oncologist said all his cancer patient’s blood pressure went up. He was not concerned. But once more, we have a doctor that is not concerned about something out of his speciality. No one appears to know if the higher blood pressure is due to the cancer or the treatment. If I must guess, I suspect it is the treatment. Does high blood pressure post cancer mean the same as high blood pressure pre cancer? No one appears to know. Through exercise and proper eating I have managed to lower the blood pressure to 140 over 80, not bad, but not as good as 120 over 60.

Jim,
I told mom that I would let her know the response to the question I asked the Healthy Chocolate Doctor. I had asked him if this healthy chocolate would affect my anxiety. This was His response:
Reply from Dr. Warren:
no it will make your anxiety better and will not interfer with your meds Try it and let me know I think you will be less anxious.
So I will conitue to take it, and see what happens. We bought a scale this weekend and I am starting to keep track of my weight. I will keep you updated. I am also thinking about starting a blog for our family and will send you the link when I do it. I would like to have a link to your page so I can spotlight the healthy chocolate! Hope all is well. Love you both and see you soon.
