New TX update
Hi ladies and thank you for all the information!
Well I started the new pill (TBFW - my own personal nickname for it) and I take 8 pills in the morning and 8 pills 12 hrs later. The pills are capsules, a tad bigger then a tylenol. The only side effects so far have been headaches. And I NEVER get headaches, so this has to be from TBFW. No tail yet tho - haha! Anyways, I see my onc every monday for labs and exam so will keep you all posted.
HUGS!
