My Friends

Two weeks into the chemo pills. She doesn't like them. She has to take four in the morning and four in the evening. It's somewhat awkward because there is food intake required and the schedule doesn't really meet our eating schedule. But she's making due. Contrary to what she was told, they are making her sick. Not badly but upset stomach, headaches and sometimes chest pain are bothering her. They also make her feel cold all the time which is fun because I'm roasting now. No other weird side effects so far. One they seemed really concerned about which hasn't materialized is her hands and feet drying out. She's using cream and being preventative.

All in all, she has a pretty good attitude about it. We can do normal things for the most part and she isn't as ill as during regular chemo. First cycle of two weeks taking pills is over. Now one week with none and then three more cycles to go.
