On T.Y.M.E. (Take Your Medicine Everyday) is a unique program that provides tips to helps those taking oral medications stay on track with their treatment regimens.  While chemotherapy and immuno-oncology are often received in a clinical setting, oral treatments are afforded the comfort of taking them in your own home.  This is convenient but sometimes needs encouragement and reminders to stay the course. 

As Carolyn Murrah, a stage 4 colorectal cancer patient shared, “Some days it is hard to make myself swallow the pill.  I worry about side effects and have to remind myself of the privilege of an oral treatment.” She was the inspiration for On T.Y.M.E.

Oral treatment options and disease management are improving but communication, education, and support are slow to reach the advanced cancer patient and their families. In this age of multidisciplinary and personalized care, resources and technology must be readily available so that we receive the information, support, and empowerment necessary to combat our disease, and to adhere to our oral treatment regimens.
