    During your 2 weeks off, eat as well as you are able,

    Do any recomended physiotherapy.

    Chance to catch up on reading/study for school.

    Try and find time to catch up with some friends.

    Your body needs time to recover from each batch of chemo and it will keep working over that time.

    It took about 2 years after I finished chemo before I felt like it was all out of my system (mozzies started biting again)

    You use those 2 weeks to recover from your 5 days of chemo.

    Your question doesn't make any sense. You're worried about WHAT growing back?
