Just to get some clarity around this:
Does this mean that your partner will be having 2 types of chemo every month for 6 months?
Or might it be that you are getting 6 chemos, 2 at a time which means you would be doing 3 rounds or cycles of chemo over 3 months?
Our doctor drew our treatment plan as a picture as we did not understand her terminology or the process. This helped us a lot and over time we learned the time between the doses of chemo was called a cycle. So we had 3 cycles with 3 types of chemo administered each time. Our cycles were 3 weeks long so the total time undergoing chemo was 9 weeks Good luck
