Heyyyy!

If I talk about it here, it happens in real life.  You are like a reverse jinx.

Got the call from the drug people, my Chemo is coming.

Unlike Walter White, it will be a capsule.  Huh.  Twice daily acalabrutinib.  AKA Calquence.  Almost anti-climactic, unless the monster returns from what you thought was a sure death to give you a jump scare at the end of the movie.

Wait!  The Oncologist says I still gotta get IV fluids.  Can't Gatorade do the trick, Doc?

Oh crap, and a crap load of other pills.  For weird stuff.  I was totally wrong on how easy this would be.  But we ARE postponing that Endoscopy, so that is good.

Daily pill to help the kidneys process out all the protein

A pill for nauseas if needed

A  pill three times a week to defend from a pnuemonia

A pill twice a day to fend off Shingles, and, yes, even if I had the Shingles shot.  

Ugh.
