True, we are not doctors here. We are real people sharing our experiences. I did say to check with her oncologist. It was actually my oncologist who suggested the half dose and also do drug vacations. And, no, this decision is not up to the doctor. It is up to the patient. After all, there are no drug police coming to my door to take me to drug jail. It was my radiation oncologist who stated that ultimately the patient makes the final decision. I think the point of this thread is to give people an idea of what's available so they can pursue the conversation with their oncologist.
