A member asked:
Can you let me know how many times can a person go thru chemotherapy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: There r many different types of chemotherapy. Some can only be given a certain number of times before your body can't handle anymore, often limited by liver or bone marrow or kidney toxicity. Some can be given indefinitely at lowered doses as a maintenance regimen. It really depends on weighing patient health against specific disease and drug.
