Thanks do much Lori. I feel more confident that you have had experience either all these meds. I have a fear of pills and when I received all of these from the pharmacy at first my anxiety went through the roof. I sm on antidepressants and I was so afraid they would interact. However the oncology pharmacist has been do reassuring and I trust they know what works as well as my oncologist. It was so overwhelming at first and if it wasn’t for my sister in law picking me up every morning I don’t think I would have gone. She is my angel that God sent to me and keeps me in line about my treatments and stay positive and comes to every doctor appointment too with my oncologist. Thank you again and keep me in your prayers. You are a wealth of information.

@jacklyn, I can so relate to the panic and the feeling of over-whelmed when I saw the list of meds I needed to take for my BMT. Until my diagnosis with AML and then the BMT, I rarely even took Advil! I joked with my BMT doctor that the only thing in my medicine cabinet was Vit D3! But I took everything faithfully through both the AML/BMT drama. Those meds got me through the worst times of my life. Now the only prescription drug I have to take routinely is a very low dose statin. I mentioned to another member this morning that we and our doctors have to weigh the rewards/risks with meds. These meds were developed for a reason and they can work well.

I’m so relieved for you that your sister in law is able to be your angel through this challenging time for you! No matter how strong you are, it is comforting to have a lifeline. You have one here too! ☺️
