I was told what they do si to divide the total greys by the number of days; so, 20 greys over 5 days will be 4 greys per day, 70 greys over 35 days will be 2 greys per day. John's RO told me that was why he might feel a bit worse when he was getting 20 greys than when he was getting 70 greys. I never got a sense that it was incremental.

I was the caregiver, so I never had chemo, but I can tell you that one and a half years out, my brain really cannot remember all the details that I knew and lived through. Someone suggested it was probably a case of the mind not wanting to remember.
