She has had seven, and the MO is talking about stopping at nine. The agreement is that we will get to nine and reevaluate from there. I am a bit surprised that she hasnt suggested reduced dosage, for instance. More than that though, I am surprised that the symptoms seem mild to me, maybe moderate. Again, easy for me to say I know, but I am sure I've heard/read people talk about severe pain, curled up fingers in the mornings, as well as other non-pn symptoms like mouth sores. That hasnt been an issue for us - fingers crossed.
The MO has indicated that since she has had both Taxol and carboplatin she is happy with the cumulative amount. Feom my point of view, if she prescribed 12, well that's probably the amount she wants her to get, ideally.
