That's normal routine for chemo I am looking at 8 sessions and in-between session 2-3 After session 5 Mayo's plan is to do a Cat & MRI to see if we a succussing on killing the cancer I had 25 session of radio before the chem. If you have a port please note they itch like no tomorrow And after a chem you will feel like %^&(( for about 5 days & then get better It's not a fun trip
