My mom is being released tomorrow morning from the hospital. She is still recovering slowly from surgery but we know the Chemo treatments must get started ASAP . The Oncologist visited her at the hospital today and said there were 2 Chemo treatment options. One would be taking a treatment everyday or the other choice would be taking a treatment once a week for three weeks. Which one is easier ? The Oncologist said the side effects are about the same but it seems to me taking 1 treatment a week would be a little easier and maybe less sickness. In your opinion which way should we go ?
