Can you tell me how many rounds of chemo? My husband had surgery to remove the tumor on 8/13 and it was biopsied at that time. They are going to do 2-3 rounds of chemo (starting tomorrow) 5 days a piece with the toxotere brought home in a drip and 21 days in between rounds. He will start the radiation after the rounds of chemo are completed. Does this sound like the same regimen? Can you tell me what to expect and give us any tips that are helpful? Thanks so much.
