Hi, thanks so much for answering my questions. I just have another one. Did you receive the Epirubicin once every 3 weeks or 3 weeks in a row and then one week off. I'm just curious, because I just received my first treatment of the 3 weeks on and one week off and except for one incident of vomitting, I have felt fine. I go tomorrow (Mar. 7th) for my 2nd treatment - and I will get Zometa with it. The doctor told me I am getting the same amount of the chemo either way I do it, but it is easier on my body if I get it 3 weeks on, one week off vs. once every 3 weeks. Love Pattie
