But I did go through total body irradiation (TBI) - 11 rounds in 4 days (3 per day / 2 last day)
2 rounds of 2 of 2 separate chemo agents + Rabbit ATG (rATG) over 5 days, and one day of rest...
But I'm young, strong and able to handle it...
Plus given my Parents' history of Cancer (Pancreatic / Lung / eye / and Brain) along with my Mothers' Parents history (Prostate and Uterine) all died from their cancers, I think the most agressive choice was called for...
Best of luck, and God Bless...
