Thanks Lori & katgob! More excellent information. Knowledge is power. And what I am gathering from this is we will all need these medications. But how long we’ll take them is different for everyone.
As a nurse I’ll admit I’ve been stubborn about meds in past years, thinking I ‘didn’t need them’. 😂
Well, not this time. Trying to be the most compliant patient ever!!

Diane! I was the same way about taking any drugs. Nope, not if I could help it!! 😅 Joke was on me as that all changed abruptly with AML and the BMT. Imagine my shock at learning I’d be having my own, dedicated pharmacist, with regular consults at Mayo! I gained a respect for chemo/meds. They, quite literally, saved my life! As I’m fond of saying, this 2nd chance at life we’re being given doesn’t come easily. So we take our meds, recover one day at a time and if all goes as planned, we are blessed with a new life and newfound appreciation for each day, each little moment that brings us joy and for the sense of accomplishment for having persevered through our cancer odyssey!
