Marcia,

Well, I feel compelled to disclose that I am NOT a doctor before dispensing my advise, HOWEVER, I did play doctor once when I was 6, but I digress....

Anyway, a few missed doses of the old cancer cocktail will not harm you. I know this because my onc. had me take a few days off to try to ascertain the etiology of a wicked migraine. She told me that a holiday of a couple of weeks would not be deleterious in any way, so rest easy and enjoy the mosquito bites. Have a s'more for me!
