A radioactive drug is then injected weekly every four to six weeks to attack the tumour.

injected weekly every four to six weeks ??
- I assume it means that it's injected weekly in four to six week intervals, with breaks in between.
  
  Alternatively, they use a feeble nurse.
- Yeah cause (cancer) cells dont die instantly after getting radioactively damaged so you can/should wait a while to see the damage the radiation did and then you can hit it again.
  
  But is it weekly, or is it every four to six weeks?
It's uplifting to hear a single case but I pray the medical organisations approve this treatment and get it around everyone suffering from such disease around the world.
