Cancer swag?

I received the pills for my new treatment today and it came with swag. It find that strange and somewhat concerning that they also sent anti-diarrheal medication. Didn’t I just leave a treatment because that side effect was so incredibly bad? But, back to the swag… I guess I’m supposed to wander around with a medication branded purple bag and a weird water bottle while wearing their socks? The pill organizer might be helpful. Maybe. I think I’m too lazy to actually set it up weekly.

The good news is that I have the pills now and can start the medication next week. I can’t start now because I have to test my glucose on day 3 and they don’t want that to fall on the weekend.

There are also injections that go along with the pills. The 1st 3 doses are every other week and then I go down to once/month. I asked if I could give myself the injection, but I now understand why the answer was no after experiencing the first round. They are 2 inter muscular injections that go in slow. It is not pleasant and the sites were sore for a couple days.

Unfortunately after the injections, I went for liver mapping. That wasn’t horrible, but that twilight sedation really makes you tired and the spot where they went in is still sore. Not sure I want to go back for the real procedure next week!! But I will because I want those space invaders to show my liver who is boss.

At this point, it has been over a month without treatment and my eyebrows are starting to grow back. I’m in the smudgy/dirty phase and my glue on eyebrows no longer stick. Such problems!

I hope the growth continues and is fast as you really do look sicker without eyebrows.

I really hope I get to be one of the people who doesn’t have nad side effects with this treatment. Please!!
