In most cases, this depends on the tolerance levels of the patient both physically and emotionally. Each course of chemotherapy weakens the immune system and general energy reserve for each organ and system affected. That is why repeated courses of therapy are usually cycled with off-periods of weeks to months, to allow recuperation of the patient without significant re-growth of the cancer (hopefully). The only exception are the "red meds," like doxorubicin or daunorubicin. these tend to have lifetime limits of 400mg per patient due to the cumulative cardiac toxicity on the heart.

Can You mentally support a Chemo therapy patient without affecting yourself?
Everything an individual does affects them; good or bad. To support a Chemo patient means to be there through the good and bad times they may have. Chemo (depending on how much Chemo they will be getting and the length of time) can leave the person feeling sick to their stomach; weak; sometimes depressed and in some cases the loss of hair; perhaps eyebrows and eyelashes can cause further depression. If you feel you can be there 100% for them then you should be. Many Chemo patients are amazing and take their treatments with few complaints.
