Hi there Timothy2,
Just wanted to say "hi" really. I haven't been in your situation but I have heard of cycles where it is given every day for a number of days then a break then the next cycle repeats, so I can see no reason why there wouldn't be some regimes that are every day.
What type of chemo are you having? If it's concerning you that your regime might be abnormal then maybe search for it on the NICE website. Other than that hopefully someone will see you post soon that is in your shoes (changing the subject line of the thread might help, if people are busy they often choose what to read by the subject line, just a thought).
I'm on FEC-T. Just finished the FEC (3 cycles of 3 weeks) start the T tomorrow (9 weekly cycles). They've kept the T til after as they are worried about me having a severe reaction to it. If I react badly to this more gradual distribution of the T they will try a lower dose more frequently, whereas my mum had it with her FEC, but I don't think they would go to daily on this one.
Revision: I've just put "chemo every day" into the search forum function and there are a number of cases in there, but it looks less common so might not be anyone having it just now. Maybe have a look at the search results and see if any of the people there still check in to the site.
