The Onc Doc prefers the 5 days and the VA Hosp like all hospitals are never open on weekends, so 5 day works better form me. From what I've read it's just as effective as a 7 day. I will find out, but I assume the dosage may be higher and for all I know may be tougher on me.
Bailie, what did you have and what are the worst side affects I will be looking at? Thanks for your help.
