New Medication

On Thursday this week I started a new preventative medication. I will be on this medication for the next 9 months - 2 weeks on and 1 week off. It is a low dose chemo drug that is supposed to kill any tiny cancer cells that might try to pop back up. I’ve been off of any type of treatment since Easter and honestly it’s made me a little nervous. But, this medication makes me feel like I have a safety net of some type. 
I’ve taken 3 days worth of this medication- side note, it’s SEVEN pills a day 😳. And so far it’s been ok. Day 1 I felt “off” after taking the morning dose. I am supposed to take it 30 minutes after I eat and I ate a small protein bar so that might have been the issue. 
There are a few side effects that could occur but as of today I haven’t seen any of the concerning side effects. Now, I just have to remember to take it each day 😂. Thank you each for taking time to pray for me and my family. We are so thankful for you each of you.
