Chemotherapy dosing is a complex process that oncologists carefully calculate based on several factors including body surface area, kidney and liver function, blood counts, and the specific type of cancer being treated. Many patients in communities like this one have found it helpful to ask their care team to explain how their particular dose was determined - understanding the "why" behind treatment decisions can provide some peace of mind during this journey.

If it starts messing with kidneys or any other organ,treatments will be stopped.
