Like watching paint dry

• Bloodwork, appointment with Dr. T and treatment at Siteman South County

"The good news is that you can still get treatment today."

Dang, no window seats left.

Since proteinuria (an elevated level of protein in urine that can be a sign of kidney troubles) is a possible side effect of Avastin, they always test my urine before every treatment of Avastin. And today, my protein level was elevated. So I "get" (this is the bad news) to do a 24 hour urine test to possibly get some additional information about what is going on.

The Avastin website gives a lot of information about side effects... but it's a lot of information to try and sort through. http://www.avastin-hcp.com/about-avastin/safety#important_safety_information Here's the section just on proteinuria.
