Chemo Therapy Pills & Drips

Latest info at the top.
To read from bottom-up.

So glad it's over.I normally have no problems at all swallow pills, 
BUT I found it so difficult to swallow these.. Chemo Pills (Capecitabine).

Sorry, I haven't updated Cycle 6 and Cycle 7. 
The info of the image below went haywire after delays totaling 
1 week and 1 month due to the Low White Blood counts.
This explains why it all ended at...
2014 Apr 04, Fri Morning at 07:17 hrs.

I was also due for the Chemo Therapy (Drips), but 
due to this same blood test, it is found that I was 
NOT Suitable for Chemo Therapy (Drips) as the 
Chemo Therapy (Pills) was already too strong for me.

Cycle 5
1,650g = [500mg x 3] + [150mg x 1]
~ Chemo Dosage [3 Big + 1 small]
~ starts [2014 Jan 13, Mon Night] to [2014 Jan 27, Mon Morning].
Chemo Holiday 5
~ starts [2014 Jan 27, Mon Night] to [2014 Feb 03, Mon Morning]

Cycle 4
~ 1,800g = [500mg x 3] + [150mg x 2]
~ starts [2013 Dec 09, Mon Night] to [2013 Dec 23, Mon Morning
Dosage was still too strong for me, and this time my Blood Pressure was to high to continue. So therefore, my 1 week Chemo Holiday was extended to 3 weeks. 
Chemo Holiday 4
~ starts [2014 Dec 23, Mon Night] to [2014 Jan 13, Mon Morning]. 
This was good from the perspective of enjoying my Christmas Holidays for 3 weeks.

I've decided to map out my Chemo Therapy (Pills) now while I am in Cycle 4 as it looks stable.

I have to complete a total of 8 Cycles, where each Cycle is 3 Weeks = 2 Weeks of Pills + 1 Week of Chemo Holiday (NO Pills).

After Cycle 1, I had to wait 4 days before I resume Cycle 2. This is due to the dosage being too strong for me in Cycle 1 (4 big pills 2 times per day, which is 2,000g = 500mg x 4 of Capecitabine per dosage, 2 times per day). This was determine in my Blood Test where my White Blood Cells were too low. The White Blood Cells protects us from infection. My dosage in Cycle 2 was 3 big pills plus 2 small pills, 2 times per day, which is 1,800g = [500mg x 3] + [150mg x 2] of Capecitabine per dosage, 2 times per day.

I was also due for the Chemo Therapy (Drips), but due to this same blood test, it is found that I was NOT Suitable for it as the Chemo Therapy (Pills) was already too strong for me.

(Note: 
this was the original plan, BUT 
this image is inaccurate due t
delays in Cycle 5 & Cycle 6, 
totaling 1 week and 1 month due 
to the Low White Blood counts.

Started Cycle 1 on 2014 Oct 02 (Wed)
