Thank you Karen & Lisa. Much appreciated. I don't know WHY every time I get down to my doctor or infusion nurse I CAN'T remember to ask that one simple question. I always mean too and forget.

And the reason I wanted to know is the SAME reason that Lisa mentioned. I have lost 10 pounds just since last week alone. That is NOT counting my over all weight loss since I first started chemo.

I was getting concerned I might be getting to high a dose now that I have lost so much?

Thanks to both of you that replied. I better make sure I mention to my oncologist next week to check my weight loss and change dosage if necessary.
