It's crazy, I had to take 12 pills this morning! And most of them are not small. Here's the list of stuff I get to take:
1 baby asprin to prevent blood clots forming in my port
1 multivitamin cause it's good for me
2 Decadron, steroids that work with the anti nausia meds and keep me awake for 3 days after chemo
1 Emend which I take for 2 days for nausia
5 Metamucil tablets cause I need the fiber, normally I just take 3 cause chemo causes constipation, but apparently Emend causes bad constipation too, so I've upped the dose to 5 while I'm on the Emend
2 ginseng pills cause last week I read a study that they help with chemo fatigue, I'll find out if this is true for me over the next week
So yeah, that's a lot of stuff for a 23 year old to be taking. And except for the baby asprin and Decadron, they're all huge tablets.

Glad to hear that you are taking ginseng.
...the Fairy Godmother told me about this blog... this website is pretty advanced-impresive!!! I like the grassy color!!!
hoped to find some of your wedding photos here-I hadn't had a chance to see then yet-kind of late-I know:)can I see them somehow??
lots of warm hugs and kisses from an old, ( probably annoying) primary school friend from Chimney Wood!!!!
Yeah, no wedding photos. Maybe I'll put one up at some point. Just all fun and cancer here.
No kidding. I bought myself one of those weekly pill boxes with the names of the days on them and "morning noon and night" compartments. Each "day" can be taken out of the weekly holder so that you can take all your fabulous pills with you whereever you go.
This is something that old people have. And now I have one too!
