I have never heard the term Premium Dates for chemo but I, like many others, received my 1st chemo my 1st day of rad (before my rad) and my 2nd one 3 weeks later and my last one on my last day of rad (before my rad) meaning all chemos were 3 weeks apart.
Some people have received weekly chemo txs and some have been hooked up to an infusion tube where the chemo is constant.
Hope this helps.
