Chemo Again but Different

I started taking the chemo pill on Monday, the 21st.  It was a little disappointing that I had nausea after the first dose but it lessened after a few hours.  Since then the nausea has been very little and definitely tolerable, for this I am very grateful.😌  The typical chemo schedule will continue for 7 cycles (2 weeks of chemo and 1 week off) and approximately 5 months but it will depend on future surgery and how I tolerate the chemo side effects  After my meeting with the oncologist on Monday the plan is to take the pills for two weeks and then take two weeks off to do blood work this time since I’ll be out of the state. If everything checks out I will begin the pills again on January 17th.  The doctor also said it would be fine to make our annual trip to Florida.  Please pray that symptoms will continue to be very minimal and that the trip to Florida goes well.  I continue to be extremely grateful for your prayers and support.🙏❤️

Oncologist meeting recap

From Angie: Met with oncologist this week and he is ordering the chemo pill but it will take a few weeks to get, the tentative plan is to start it on December 20th and take for two weeks then have blood work done and take a couple weeks off.  Normally it would only be one week off but because I will be in Florida it will take longer to get blood work results.  Please pray that I will tolerate the treatment well.
