Cycles/Rounds Chemo
Can someone explain what a cycle/round is in the Chemo world. I'm schedule for once a week for 12 week of Paclitaxel is this classed as one round or do they work in 4 weeks??

It is usually weekly for 12 weeks however in chemo terms they still consider cycles. One cycle is every 3 weeks....so every 4th dose of taxol is actually the next cycle. It can be given at higher doses every 21 days instead..but they found the weekly version had less side effects for the same benefit.
I just counted backwards from 12...and photographed every last one. It's a drag.
