Non small cell lung cancer - having chemo, 200mg twice a day for two days. Has anyone else had this? Seems like a lot.

I was diagnosed with this in October last year and after chemo and radiotherapy it had shrunk but it is now back with extra lumps.  Started V chemo yesterday with tablets to take home.  The dose is 200mg twice a day for two days.  Is there anyone out there on this dose as it seems an awful lot.  Hope everyone is well at this moment in time xx

  • Hi Valdy,

    I wanted to send a reply to your post to give it a little boost, so a few more people should see it and hopefully you'll get some more replies.

    If you have any concerns or questions about this, it would also be good to speak to your doctor to get any answers you may need.

    Our nurses are also available if you'd like to talk things through - you can reach them on freephone 0808 800 4040 (Monday-Friday, 9-5).

    Wishing you all the best,
