Chemo take, ummmm, 3?

And we're off with mom, as well!! She began her new chemo yesterday. It's a two-fer, one-fer, two-fer gig where she "takes two pills one day alernating with one pill daily".  Wuhhhh? Confusing to anyone else? Is that three pills in a day? Is there another pill to alternate with the two pills? Fortunately, there's not just beauty in our family and we put our minds together to conclude--alternate two one day, one the next day, two, then one, and so on.

Side effects aren't too extreme, I don't believe. We have noticed increased confusion and balance issues, which is likely the chemo, the fatigue factor, and the tumor playing pattycake together. Would throw anyone off kilter!  

Still, if mom were a sailboat, she'd be listing to port!
