My daughter starts this on Wed. From her schedule it looks like she is on it daily or a week. Its route is IV. Does anyone know if that means we have to go to the hospital daily? Anyone else been on this medication?

I googled it, because I'm not familiar with this treatment. It comes only by IV, and the site I found said that your doctor sets his own schedule. But they do check in between to make sure it doesn't have a harmful effect on your other systems. So I'm wondering whether it's weekly.
I guess you'll have to ask. Sorry not to be of much help.

Well we are on day 3 of 4 of ARAC treatment. We've had to go to the hospital daily for an IV push that takes literally 5 minutes.

A bit of an inconvenience, but maybe she can see it as a daily adventure. I hope it helps and you see results soon.
