I had 3 of just the Cis. The first was a non event; the 2nd was pretty bad and the 3rd was ugly but I'm sure the amount of radiation I had received prior to each one and the general state of my body both mentally and physically made the difference
Back in the day they weren't using the weekly option plan but I would have demanded it today subject to the MO convincing me otherwise..
