Miscellaneous tips
Tip from Louise: I just picked up a new supply of Gleevec and it reminded me that I've been meaning to write in, especially for those who are fairly new to managing this cancer thing.
When I get a new supply of any meds I MUST take, such as Gleevec, I put 2-day's worth in an empty pill bottle. If the doctor is late ordering a refill, or it's a holiday, or if my meds are held up for any reason, I have an extra 2 days before I need to panic. Makes life easier.
- use the pills in the bottle and add new ones when you get the new prescription to keep the medicines fresh, so they do not get out of date.**
