How Long Is Chemotherapy? How Often Do You Go?

I will be going to chemo every two weeks for six months.

The particular kind of chemotherapy I am given is called ABVD.

There will be a passing exam at the end of this blog. Study hard.

Chemo is different for every cancer. mine was 10 months 5 FU. at first it was every 2 weeks but was killing me, I was being reduced to a blob on the couch with no quality of life , then they switched it to every 3 weeks which gave me a week to recover, a good doctor will work through this and make sure you are on the right track. checking WBC all the time.
