Hexalen®, day 9, #28



Today, nine days after I began taking Hexalen®
I saw my oncologist


Based upon my minimal side effects (fatigue)
and
a pretty healthy blood count today

I will finish my remaining five days of capsules
and
begin my 14 days of NO capsules

'HIGH FIVE'



In three weeks I will return for another blood test
and
most likely,
begin Month Two of taking 14 days of my ChemoCaps


Postscript
I might be swallowing more medicine during
the second and third months
now that we are learning that
I can tolerate this chemotherapy drug

ChemoCaps: my endearing term
for chemotherapy capsules

  1. I wonder; this might be the most photographed bottle of medicine ever!

  2. My medicine container has and will continue to bring hope, focus, humor, and curiosity to my cancer-singed life.
