A member asked:

What number of times a cycle do you get chemo for brain cancer, if each cycle lasts 6 weeks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: This question cannot be answered unless it is known what type of cancer and what chemotherapy agents are being given. In addition to visits for chemotherapy, there are often visits for blood work as well.
