You need to tell you oncologist. Some people handle weekly doses better then three weeks. I have been on both and I rather do weekly, my oncologist really pushes for all his patients to do weekly. He feels a single dose weekly is better on the body then triple amount every 3 weeks. Makes sense to me. Now, if traveling is a hardship then he is o.k. with every 3 weeks. When I feel like I am having flu like symptoms and I do now and then after I get home I take tylenol and am fine the next day. When I am on chemo I take a benadryl the first night and that helps me sleep. I prefer this to sleeping pills that leave me hung over the next day. Also it is very important to drinks lots of water the day of and day after the treatment. I usually drink a gallon of water a day. If I don't drink lots of water I don't feel well. I sweat and my head feels funny just yucky feeling hard to discribed. I have heard the nurses tell the patient drink, drink and drink water!! Need to flush out the kidneys and liver or they will get toxic. Good luck, hugs, Sandy
