Help with Capecitabine

Hi, 

I have stage 2 bowel cancer and will be starting chemo soon on Capecitabine. The issue I have is that I have a autistic son and he has become stressed and fixated on what the pills look like, box they come in etc. Is anyone able to send me photos to show him or even better post be an empty container so that he can acclimatise and be one less stress for me!
