Re: Toolbox makeover?

She took 500mg for 14 days then had 7 days off.The time interval was what had been prescribed by her onc but he wanted her to take 1000mg initially building up to 1500mg.
She was also on oral morphine but had halved this dose once on this regime and believed that she would be able to stop it altogether soon as she felt so much better!
I think your comments about onc peer pressure probably hold true especially as a lot of cases are 'team' reviewed so any out of the norm prescribing would be subject to much scrutiny.
