Re: Where can I find low dose chemo

Hi @TD,
Sorry to hear about your mate. Pancreatic cancer is nasty.
Is he on chemo at the moment? Usually, if the chemo is too strong, the oncologist can reduce the dose to ease some of the side effects.

Possibly can but don’t. Need low dose, not slight adjustments. Few people are interested to administer in Australia. Has great results O/S.
