There are many variables to consider in choosing the ideal time, and these change according to the pathology.

Certainly it may be useful to repeat the course of treatment twice a year at least six months apart, remembering that for the first cycle the agreement with the National Health Service if it is prescribed by your doctor on a red prescription, while the second cycle is private.
