I did every three weeks. The benedryl knocked me out, but other than that, I had no issues and enjoyed (if you can call it that) the schedule. I have a 40 minute drive and needed to take off an afternoon. I did dose dense initially. My oncolgist said there were only slight difference.

It is so interesting to me that even our onc. differ on things.
