Hi I just wanted to ask how does the weekly dose effect you in terms of the third weekly dose. As the third weekly you are more at risk of infections 7-14 days after. How does it work with the weekly treatment? 
Thanks Sue

  • I would say you’re at risk the whole time on chemo as your immune system is compromised.

    Everyone is different as it will hit people at diff times. 

    I was hospitalised after 5 days when on 3 weekly treatment as my neutrophils were so low.

  • Hi. Yes I think you are at risk the whole time really. Try keep your immune system boosted, lots of cold pressed juices and fruit. Keep drinking plenty. I’m taking multi vitamins too.
