Oral Chemo

After IV chemo is done, oral chemo begins . . .

All the meds get sorted for the whole week.

Meds for the a.m. and meds for the p.m.

Now I know why old people use those quirky weekly pill boxes.

How else are you supposed to keep track?

This is one morning's dose.

The six pills on the right are standard issue for the whole week.

Every morning and every night.

The other pills have some variety,

in type and in dose,

depending on the day of the week and the time of the day.

I'm not sure how many pills that is over the course of the week.

But it's a lot.

IV chemo happens on Wednesday.

Oral chemo starts on that same day

and runs to the following Wednesday.

Then there's the week OFF.
