Thanks Jill! its encouraging to see someone on a schedule like mine.
People ask me why my hematologist isn't sending me 7 days like it says in the package insert, and I have to explain the whole clinical trial dosing thing, and how they never did studies on when to cut back or adjust schedules and we are all different, etc., etc. Keep up the good work.
Hoping I move to 5 weeks soon. 5 days a month is a lot better than 7 so 5 days every 5 weeks should be even better than that! Initially I was going to get Zofran IV but when I found the pills at Costco for 50 cents a piece he told me to take it orally to cut down the infusion time. I take 1 8 mg tab an hour or 2 before and so far haven't had any nausea, before after or during the IV. Stay well!
Steve
