A member asked:
If one chemotherapy session is missed in a 6 session cycle for pancreatic cancer due to the flu can it negate all other chemo benefit in that cycle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Missing one session out of six would not negate the benefit of chemotherapy you received. Wish you good health.
