I saw Dr. Cripe today and got lined up for my last session of chemo. This session will last for the next 18months. It will consist of 4 pills of Mercaptopurine (200mg total) daily, 13 pills of Methotrexate (32.5mg total)every Friday, and 10 pills of ATRA (500 mg total) for two weeks every three months.
The first two are new drugs to me. I'll be taking the Methotrexate on Fridays since people sometimes get sick the day afterwards. I'm going to ramp up on the ATRA over a couple of days so that, hopefully, I won't feel bad each time I take it.

First Week of Work
Sorry, forgot to post this weekend.
The first week of work went well. I did half days so I was home around lunch time. I'm excited to be back at work but the plan is to take it slow. I met with the facility doctor today and we decided to keep me on half days until at least July 15. I see my oncologist on Thursday and will hopefully start up my next round of chemo after the 4th.
