Welp, given that my radiation oncologist (I am in remission) found that I had stage 3 hypertension, I've had better. A trip to the ER told us that I am not in immediate danger, so it could also be worse.

Oh ugh. I hope you got on an antihypertensive.

Lol, nope! Since my blood work and EKG showed no organ damage, I am just under orders to call my PCP in the morning - which I did. I'll get a cuff late today to track as well. I'm already on BP meds, have been stable for many years, and my BO was even good when I was in cancer treatment and couldn't take my meds. This is a wait, watch, and control with normal meds scenario right now. I'm take it given the alternatives.

Aww. I'm sorry.
