If they are giving the same drug but only different schedule and dosing, then one can likely assume the weekly dose will be greater than the fractions given on a daily basis.
My personal experience is the longer between dosing means harsher side effects as the body gets more chemo on the less frequent cycle. I did really well on weekly carbo and had a much harder time on the every three cycle. But that was a more harsh blend too which I am certain did not make it easier.
Good luck Don
