Steve, I had started out at 7 days too, but it was too much for me, especially every 4 weeks. I had just relapsed following a transplant and was still very weak plus I am 5'9'' and only weigh 125 lbs. Yes, everyone is different! It wasn't until cycle 12 that I no longer needed transfusions. The 5 day schedule every 6 weeks seems to be working fine for me. I should check into taking the oral Zofran before I go in though. I have some at home and am so surprised no one has even suggested it. It would sure free up some of my time and also for the nurses at out-patient chemo. Thanks!
I hope your new schedule works well for you. Stay in touch and let me know how you're doing.
JILL
