Sorry no one has had an answer for you. My experience may be a bit different but my regular chemo was postponed by two weeks once. It doesn't seem to have made much difference.
This is an interesting prior discussion on Mayo Clinic Connect.
Your question doesn’t have an easy answer! Much depends on your individual circumstances - including your type of cancer, how aggressive it is, how your body handles the schedule etc.
