I have received it every 3 weeks for two years at the Dana Farber in Boston. It completely knocked out liver and lung mets without other chemo. Unfortunaely, mets have now started up in the bones and I had to add Navelbine. I prefer every three weeks, and my oncologist told be at the time that it was just as effective to get it every 3 weeks.
Best,
