      I wondered if anybody might know how many treatments of chemotherapy one might require before finding out if it is reducing the size of subcutaneous Mets. I have only had one infusion so far and obviously won't know what effect it is having on the tumours in my organs etc until I've had a scan after my second infusion. However, obviously one can one can see subcutaneous mets and I thought others may have seen some signs of them reducing in size after treatment, but didn't know how long this usually takes. Any information would be appreciated.
