Still Going Up March 26, 2010
First of all, thank you. Thank you. A million times, thank you. What would I do without my internet friends?
I had another beta done today. It came back at 5719, up from Monday’s pre Methotrexate beta of 2448. It’s normal for it to go up before it goes down. However, my RE’s office didn’t really want it to go up this much.
I go back Monday morning for another beta. It should definitely be going down by then if the Methotrexate is doing what it’s supposed to do.
I’ve been told two things: 1) watch carefully for any increase in pain this weekend and 2) leave Monday afternoon open. If I experience any bad pain or feel that things aren’t right I’m to go to the ER. If that ends up being necessary, I will be going to the ER where my RE has privileges. I have to leave Monday afternoon free in case a second dose of Methotrexate is needed.
Part of me is wishing I had just done the surgery on Monday. At least it would be over by now. I don’t like this “at risk” feeling.
I’m really hoping for an uneventful weekend. That would be a nice change of pace.

I’m so sorry the saga continues. Talk about adding insult to injury. Hoping that the weekend is uneventful, and that things improve soon. You are in my thoughts.
I am so sorry. I hope you don’t have an ER trip in your future for this weekend! I will be thinking of you and hoping that the beta will do it’s job and you don’t have to go through another dose or the surgery! Sigh. I am just mad that you have to go through all this. It is not right! Hang in there! Lots of *hugs*.
Oh for the love of fuck – haysoos and Christmas and all that. ENOUGH Universe – hear it? AARRGGHH!
I had to have 2 doses of the Methotrexate for mine as well. It makes you feel like shit. As you said, who knew, it’s only a cancer drug. The mental agony is what surprised me, although I suppose I was a little naive. I’m just hoping it will all be over soon, and the betas behind you.
Give Adam hugs.
I hope the meds work, and you have one less stressor on your mountain of emotions. Know that we’re all rooting for you. You will get through this!

Oh crap. Just when you’ve gone through hell you get to go through a rising beta? Jen’s right, it’s adding insult to injury. I am so sorry Amanda. This sucks. I hope you don’t wind up in the ER. :-(
No, it’s not supposed to go up that much. I hope it comes down on Monday, and really hope that you don’t have any complications this weekend. I got two shots for mine – supposedly only happens to 15% of the population. I’m starting to think these stats are complete crap.
