Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 939 | Bill had the once a week dosage of Cis plus Taxol that did not require being in the hospital...only an infusion at the MO's facility that lasted about 6 hours each Thursday for about 7 weeks. I'm not sure why they "can't" do this...I know that the last infusion, the MO adjusted the Cisplatin/Taxol down a bit since Bill's blood counts were so low. So, it seems that dosages can be adjusted.
Just curious.
