chemo why so much, so long. How sick will I be and when? I'm 55 with a 3-3.7 lump they say I caught so early, hadn't spread anywhere. So why so much chemo4-6 mths????
I'm afraid I looking decrepit and sick , that's my fear for my kids.
The reason it takes so long with chemo is the chemo and time between infusions. Some chemo is every 3 weeks and you may need 4 treatments = 12 weeks. Taxol can be weekly or bi-weekly for 12 weeks. Hope this helps answer your question.
