Team,

One week into round two induction chemo. Round one white cells dipped early (week into treatment), then went down again. Was seeing MO (getting bloodwork) weekly. Got chemo last Wed, and was told I don't need to come back until rd 3 (Dec. 30). Is this normal? I kind of felt like the bloodwork weekly was a type of security blanket. Any experience?
