I’m not sure about metastatic cancer but when I first started the Adriamyacin my lump was noticeably smaller after two weeks and that was after only one infusion.

I had a chemo treatment yesterday and today I can feel that the tumor is smaller. You can’t feel a change hour to hour, but you can day to day. ALso the first week seems to have the greatest impact, and then it falls off after that.

It does start working pretty much as soon as it enters the body, but to see effects it depends on the drugs being used.
