How do you feel after the first round of chemo? Like you said everyone has different paths that work for them and I’m glad that this is the best thing for you as that is the most important thing at the end of the day and not anyone’s opinions!

Thanks for asking! My head felt fuzzy for a few hours, but that's the only noticeable effect so far.

This is a targeted chemo, not the classic "IV bag in the hospital" chemo. It will be 5 pills a day (2+1 in the morning 2 in the evening.) Judging by the published biological half life numbers (138 hrs), it will probably be about a week before I get chemo levels up to to the "steady state" level in my bloodstream.
