For what length of time can a person do chemotherapy for on a bi-weekly basis?

Dr. Liawaty Ho answered

Specializes in Hematology and Oncology

Depends: If it is indicated- treatment can be given as long as a person tolerates and agrees to get the treatment and as long as the cancer responds to the therapy. Discuss in detail with your oncologist.
