Hello and thanks for your post

It's really difficult for us to answer questions like this as we are not involved in your care and don't know what chemotherapy protocol you are on. Some chemotherapy treatments have breaks in between.

The best thing to do is to get in touch with your chemotherapy team at the hospital. They are familiar with all your medical details and should be able to advise you further.

I hope you hear something soon. Give us a ring if you would like to talk things over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Kind regards,

Celene
