My radio therapy starts on 10/21. Today there was more bleeding than usual but it has stopped now. My doctor has prescribed medicine to control bleeding. Even my blood pressure shot up during the day. Please let me know if its normal. Is there anything else that can be done to control bleeding other than the prescribed medicine - ice pack, diet (food to avoid), etc. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
