I believe you will find a detailed answer to the 21 day question in the link in my earlier post. It is efficacious for about 3 weeks. The second Tx was far worse than the first for me. I shudder to think if I could have tolerated a third Tx - they canceled the third one. Whatever, it did the trick, I have been cancer free for 18 months now. Keep your fluid intake up to protect your liver and kidneys.
