You can get them at any Wal-Mart or pharmacy. Just crush the pills up and he can take them in his food or something. It would probably taste bad to take it by itsself in a powder form but you could mix it in some yogurt or something. Just an idea!!-Kristen kristenL83 Sun, 17 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT Hello,My Dad can't take his chemo in a whole pill, so I crush it. This makes it taste bad, so I mix it with peanut butter for him. You can also ask the Dr. if it comes in dissolve tabs or liquid. Some of Dad's meds come in these forms. Good luck and God bless.  tallpam Thu, 29 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT
