A member asked:
Please help, if a cancer patient detoxes can they take a chemo therapy again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some expected: Toxicity recovers and full doses can be used next cycle. Other toxicity, particularly kidney, lung or liver problems may make re-administration after recovery hazardous. Need to discuss with your oncologist; too many variables to cover in short answer.
