I found this today when I was looking for information on integrated medicine. It's just a little diddy about my first chemo pills. But I liked the part about Debra so I posted it.
Sept 23, 8:31 AM – The two chemo pills are now officially
down the hatch. No one is going to get them out of me now. They are marked 77
on one side and 161 on the other. 77 seems to be a perfect combination. 161
adds to eight. It’s just a pill, right? Who cares what’s imprinted on it in a
factory in Boston’s suburbs where all medical stuff happens? Only someone who
is putting poison in their body I guess. I wonder what those numbers mean.
I looked them up. Mine are special pills. The “normal”
Xeloda pills say “Xeloda” on one side so you don’t take them for birth control
or something. And they give the amount of the drug on the other side, either
150 or 500 for mg. So my pills are especially for me. I am looking forward to
seeing if all of them have unique numbers on them, or was it just my two this
morning? “77” to me is a very good omen. 161… well I just don’t know.
I walked for an hour afterward with my companion Debra. I am
having phantom side-effects already. My hands are numb. My stomach is upset.
Light hurts my eyes. My skin is sensitive. People are friendlier. All but one
of those was phantom.
But we walked and walked. Deb is so fast. That’s why I love her. So walkie walkie.
Like a cute little meerkat.
