Weekly chemo compared to every 3 weeks
Good MOrning ladies has any one had any experience on having here chemo weekly rather than every 3 weeks . This will be my 4th time with chemo if they decide that i need it again fighting for 4 years now . I had read somewhere that the side affects are a little milder with the weekly .
I have clear cell stage 3b .

Hi @cavy
Yes, it seems that treatments vary according to the individual and what the medical team suggests.
Many factors may be considered for the course of treatment. A concern may be how one is functioning with the neuropathy and other side effects.
On a personal note, I had the weekly cycles (dose dense) for 7 months and then the last treatment was once every 21 days.0 -
I had 2 rounds of chemo weekly when Taxol and Carbo worked for me. What I found was that they could give me a higher dose of Taxol by giving it to me weekly. My body tolerated it better. I also had no 'aches' like I did with a round every 3 weeks (which I had to do 3 prior to surgery). Worked better for me.0
