Joe Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 How long do doctors usually wait to recheck the progress of the chemo? My dad's oncologist won't even think about checking to see if the chemo is working until after his 3rd treatment. Since his treatments are 3-4 weeks apart, it will be close to if not more than 3 months until a recheck. That seems like a long time to wait. Anyone have this experience?

beckyg Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Mine usually checks after the second treatment, but 3 treatments doesn't seem so unreasonable. The chemo takes a while to have a noticeable impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
