Can you let me know how many different types of chemo should a person get?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tough question: This is a tough question to answer. If the chemo has worked and response has been achieved in past then chemo can be continued. As long as the body can tolerate it and response is occurring there is no limit. The problem occurs when there is no response. Then after 2 or 3 chemo types it is hard to continue. But this decision is up to you and your doctor.
