Item10. WHAT’S THE TREATMENT SCHEDULE?.

There are four 28-day periods (months) in which chemo ingredients are administered. These injections occur in the first 3 days of each “month.” (Note that month in quotes means "not a calendar month.") On the Wednesday of the second week, Ritaxin is administered again. In the last week of the “month” an assessment of the progress will occur to determine the strategy for the next up-coming “month.” In other words, “She’s been given these given medicines; how much has it wiped out he cancer?” At this point the patient should be in remission and has six weeks off, during which she is allowed to travel. At the end of those six weeks, a practice run occurs of giving the trial medicine, Zevalin. Then a six week waiting-period passes before this happens, a window in which the patient is allowed to travel. Then a real injection of the Zevalin will occur. This is a radioactive medicine that assures the disease stays away. Then monthly checkups will occur for several years.
