With AI's I don't see how cutting the pill (inconsistencies) would matter as it is an accumulated effect. With my oncologists approval I took 1/2 dosage with a choice of split pills every day or full tablet every other day. You're still getting the same dose every other day. Also, as others have mentioned, 20% dose still maintains acceptable levels. My oncologist also approved drug free vacations - 6 months on and 1 month off. There's another study I found showing satisfactory results with 9 months on and 3 drug free.
