Guest guest Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Do any of the doctors know the NORMAL length of time you should remain on Acyclovir and Bactrim after 4 cycles of FCR? I had 4 rounds Jun 10 - Sep 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I thought Acyclovir was a lifetime deal after chemo. That's how it's been presented to me at SloanK. > > Do any of the doctors know the NORMAL length of time you > should remain on Acyclovir and Bactrim after 4 cycles of > FCR? > > I had 4 rounds Jun 10 - Sep 10. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 There's a simple test you can do at home to see if Acyclovir is needed. Stop taking it and see if you get shingles. > > > I thought Acyclovir was a lifetime deal after chemo. > > That's how it's been presented to me at SloanK. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
