Hi
sorry for the delay
i was to have my 10th cycle monday but was posponed due to low level of neutrophils(white cells)
i had 7 cycles every 2 weeks and decided to have the treatment every 3 weeks instead with a
20 % dose reduction
the worse side effects were neuropathy in the hands and diarrhea
i will probably take the 10th but will probably stop as i cannot see why 12 treatments will be better than 10, especially if it really is "adjuvant"
I could tolerate 2 more but i am afraid of lasting sequels of the poison.
After 10 days of each treatment i can play tennis at a high level and also walk &skate 5 km +
I was very fit before starting the treatment and do not have any sequel from the last july surgery
So i am wondering if i am doing the right thing
the oncologists and internists i put the question to
all answered it was a good question......
